The house at Schlossgasse 2 in the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Dirmstein is a historic building that, along with a few others , has survived from the late baroque development of the Niederdorf. It has been nicely restored and is a listed building .

Geographical location

The house is in the center of Niederdorf, where Schlossgasse and Gerolsheimer Straße meet. The Episcopal Castle is 100 m south .

building

Once the right-aligned building dominated the still existing three-sided courtyard as a residential building, today the house only serves as an annex to a winery . The gable main facade faces west. As was customary in Dirmstein, the two-storey white plastered building has a steep hipped roof . The rectangular windows on the ground floor are arranged according to the division into living room and chamber and equipped with late baroque rusticated walls and apex stones . The windows of the first floor, possibly half-timbered , were renewed in the course of the 19th century.

The courtyard wall attached to the south facing the Schlossgasse is broken through by a straight gate, which is more recent, as are today's farm buildings and the current residential building.

Building history

When troops of the French King Louis XIV burned down the whole of Dirmstein in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 , the Niederdorf, although it was less densely built up, was totally destroyed by the three days of raging conflagration. During the reconstruction phase at the beginning of the 18th century, the house at Schlossgasse 2 was apparently also rebuilt.
