Leininger Castle

The decision to make Guntersblum a residence was made after the devastations of the Palatinate War of Succession by the County of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg. The Moser'sche Estate was chosen as the location. In 1704, Jacob von Campoing acquired the estate for 6,000 guilders. The shell of the residence was completed in 1708, financed by Countess Anna Sabina von Nostitz, the wife of the builder Carl Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg, with her savings. After her husband's death in 1709 during the Great Northern War, Anna Sabina von Nostitz sold the property in 1717 for 16,500 guilders to Karl von Venningen, a Palatine Privy Councillor. The castle subsequently lost its importance until 1787, when it returned to the possession of the Leiningers under Count Wilhelm Carl von Leiningen-Guntersblum.
