One of Dirmstein's landmarks: the late Baroque Michel Gate next to Sturmfeder Castle

The Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Dirmstein owns 58  cultural monuments . Most of them are buildings or parts of buildings, two are designated as monument zones. These two zones and 47 of the protected individual objects are located in the historical and well-restored town center of the upper village , five other objects are located in the Niederdorf and four outside the two original settlement centers or the residential development.

history

Because the entire village was burned down by French troops during the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 and only a few buildings survived, almost all of Dirmstein's cultural monuments date from the period after 1700. The local homeland researcher Arthur Maurer (* 1929) has rendered outstanding services to their preservation and restoration. who was awarded the Rhineland-Palatinate Medal of Merit in 2009 for his cultural commitment . The St. Michael Dirmstein cultural association, founded in 1996 on Maurer's initiative, has set the preservation of historical buildings as one of its main goals in its statutes.
