Trippstadt House

He was the master hunter (Obristjägermeister) of Electoral Palatine, responsible for hunting in the 55 km2 Barony of Wilenstein.

The first lightning conductor in the Palatinate was installed at the house on 17 April 1776 by physicist, Johann Jakob Hemmer, from Mannheim.

[2] Its French garden was planned and executed around 1780 by landscape architect, Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell,[3] who was also responsible for its natural extension, the attractive valley of Karlstal through which the Moosalb stream flows.

French Revolutionary troops partly destroyed the house on 13 July 1794, leaving only the cellars inhabitable.

The entire manorial estate of Trippstadt, including the house, was sold in 1833 by Reichsrat,[4] Ludwig von Gienanth.
