Sturmfeder'sches Schloss

Dirmstein, Germany, Germany

---

Sturmfeder'sches Schloss in Dirmstein, Germany, is a Baroque manor house with early Classicist elements, built from 1736 by Freiherr Friedrich von Sturmfeder und zu Oppenweiler on the site of a 13th-century fortified farmstead originally established by the Knights Lerch von Dirmstein.

This white-plastered, two-and-a-half-story building with a hipped mansard roof and seven dormers per side anchors the Schlossplatz—once its courtyard, now a market square—framed by the iconic Michelstor gate from 1738 featuring a sculpture of Sturmfeder triumphing over a devil symbolizing his disputes with authorities.

Protected alongside nearby castles like Koeth-Wanscheid and Quadt, it stands amid landmarks such as the Baroque Laurentiuskirche and Spitalhof in Dirmstein's monumental historic core.
