Hofgut Scheibenhardt or Schloss Scheibenhardt is a former hunting lodge on the southwestern edge of Karlsruhe .

The castle was expanded as a hunting lodge from 1698 under Franziska Sibylla Augusta by Domenico Egidio Rossi , Johann Michael Ludwig Rohrer and Franz Ignaz Kromer . It is a three-storey building with a central hall, which is connected to a garden by outside stairs. During the war against France (1701-1714), Scheibenhardt was included in the lines of defense. It is surrounded by a low ring-shaped rampart and moat .

In 1754, under Margrave Ludwig Georg , Scheibenhardt was extensively modernized. The central hall was decorated with painted wallpaper, which shows pictures of native and exotic birds. The court painter Heinrich Lihl was commissioned with the design .

The square was first mentioned in 1150, in 1501 it came into Baden ownership. In 1926 the district came to Bulach and thus in 1929 to Karlsruhe.

Today there are studios of the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe in the castle and a golf course on the surrounding area .
