Schloss Zweibrücken stands in Zweibrücken (Zweibrücken), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Zweibrücken Castle stands on the northern side of the Schlossplatz, on the site of a ducal residence rebuilt in the 18th century by the architect Jonas Erikson Sundahl. Destroyed twice, once by French troops in 1793 and again by bombing in 1945, it regained its baroque facade thanks to original plans found in Nancy. The building now houses the Palatinate's Higher Regional Court and is not open as a museum, though its exterior and the square in front of it can be viewed freely.
