Burgstrasse location	Dagstuhl Castle	The medieval hilltop castle was built around 1270 by the knight Boemund von Saarbrücken. At the beginning of the 15th century it was conquered by Nikolaus Vogt von Hunolstein and then rebuilt from 1466 to 1472. The Trier elector Philipp Christoph von Sötern bought the complex together with the rulers in the first third of the 17th century and had it rebuilt further. In 1717 the castle was destroyed by French troops and the building material was later used to build Dagstuhl Castle . The castle complex consists of the ruins of a core castle, as well as a front bailey to the north and a bailey to the south. The partially torn castle tower and the foundation walls that reveal the floor plan have been preserved.
Oktavieallee location	Holy Cross Palace Chapel	The baroque chapel is part of Dagstuhl Castle and was built in 1763 by order of Count Joseph Anton von Öttingen-Sötern. In 1964 an extension was added. A slate roof turret sits centrally on the roof of the octagonal hall building. The portal with stairs sits in the central longitudinal axis and is flanked by pilasters that support a carnies arch with a console. Above it is the family coat of arms of the builder. The interior of the church was richly painted by Octavia de Lasalle von Louisenthal. The window frames, the choir wall and the cove of the flat ceiling are painted. In the three-sided choir there is a late Baroque altar from 1743 from the Swabian School.
Oktavieallee location	Dagstuhl Castle	Dagstuhl Castle was built in 1761/62 on behalf of Count Anton von Öttingen-Sötern. After the French revolutionary troops marched in, the land was leased and the castle was acquired by Baron Wilhelm de Lasalle von Louisenthal. The family lived here until 1959. In 1905/06 the family expanded the castle and had it rebuilt in neo-Gothic style. The main house and castle chapel have since been connected by a historicizing intermediate building with a central projection and tower structure. The two-storey main house is still recognizable as a Baroque building. In 1961 the Franciscan Sisters took over the complex and set up a home for the elderly. The castle is now owned by the state and is the seat of the Leibniz Center for Computer Science .
