The Palace of Pirmasens (German: Schloss Pirmasens or German: Pirmasenser Schloss) is a former palace in Pirmasens, Germany. Constructed in the first half of the 18th century as a hunting lodge for Johann Reinhard III (1665-1736), the last count of Hanau-Lichtenberg, the palace became later the main residence of Louis IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt (1719-1790). During the French Revolution, the palace was destroyed and later demolished. Today, nothing reminds anymore of the Pirmasenser Schloss.
