Philippsborn hunting lodge
The Philippsborn hunting lodge was a hunting lodge of the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken in the forest near Malstatt . The forester's house Neuhaus now stands in its place .
history
Count Philip III. von Nassau-Saarbrücken had a Renaissance- style four-wing complex with four corner towers built by the master builder Christmann Strohmeier . The complex was comparable to the two castles in Neunkirchen and Ottweiler , which the same master builder built for the count's brother, Count Albrecht von Nassau-Ottweiler . The vaulted cellar is still preserved from the time it was built . In the middle of the 18th century, the Neuhaus hunting lodge, today's Neuhaus forester's lodge, was built on the same site.
A drawing of the castle by Heinrich Höer is known from 1617 , who also drew the castles of Neunkirchen and Ottweiler.
