The owner of the facility was Franz Karl Freiherr von Hacke with his wife Amönia Freiin von Sturmfeder. He was the electoral Palatinate colonel hunter over the 55 km² dominion of Wilenstein . The castle was completed in 1767 by the architect Sigmund Jacob Haeckher under the name Maison de la Campagne . The associated French garden was planned and implemented by the landscape architect Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell around 1780 , as was its natural extension, the scenic Karlstal valley, through which the Moosalb flows .
The physicist Johann Jakob Hemmer from Mannheim installed the first lightning rod in the Palatinate on April 17, 1776 .
French revolutionary troops partially destroyed the castle on July 13, 1794, so that only the basement was habitable. The chateau came into Alsatian ownership in 1803 . The entire Dominalgut Trippstadt with the castle was bought in 1833 by Reichsrat Ludwig von Gienanth .
Baron von Gienanth sold the castle to the Bavarian state in 1865 . He set up a state forestry office there in 1885 and rebuilt the ruinous part of the castle in 1888. A forestry school was opened in the castle. During the First World War , the school had to close in 1915. Only after the Second World War did it reopen in 1946 as a forest school for the Palatinate .
The palace was the seat of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Forestry School from 1960 to 1980. The municipality of Trippstadt took over the care of the castle garden in 1985 and converted it into a recreation park. In 1987 the castle became the seat of the Forest Research Institute of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate .
