Ab 1722 ließen es die Fürstbischöfe von Speyer als Domizil erbauen. Heute ist das Schloss die älteste erhaltene fürstbischöfliche Residenz am Oberrhein und vor allem für das imposante Treppenhaus berühmt, das Baumeister Balthasar Neumann ab 1728 errichtete. Über die Prunktreppe geht es vom Erdgeschoss mit der dunklen Grotte hinauf in lichte, helle Höhen – faszinierende Ein- und Ausblicke inklusive. Das Bruchsaler Treppenhaus gilt gar als die „Krone aller Treppenhäuser des Barockstils“.
Eindrucksvoll sind aber auch die kunstvoll verzierten Prunkräume, wie der Fürsten- und der Marmorsaal. Die Hausherren ließen sie ab Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts mit Stuck und Malereien im Stil des Rokokos gestalten. Dafür wurden auch viele Künstler beschäftigt, die zuvor – wie Balthasar Neumann – an der berühmten Würzburger Residenz gearbeitet hatten. Nachdem 1832 die letzte fürstbischöfliche Bewohnerin gestorben war, nutzten Behörden und das Militär das Schloss.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde Schloss Bruchsal nach und nach wieder aufgebaut
Der Zweite Weltkrieg setzte dem Schloss Bruchsal schwer zu. Zwar konnte man viele wertvolle Kunstgegenstände retten, ein Großteil des Schlosses wurde aber zerstört. Erst ab 1975 war es durch einen gelungenen Wiederaufbau der Schlossanlage wieder möglich, die barocke Pracht im Treppenhaus und in den großartig rekonstruierten Festsälen zu bewundern. Die übrigen Räume der ehemaligen Fürstbischöfe dienten als modern und sachlich gehaltenes Museum, das die Kunstgegenstände in einer Ausstellung präsentierte. Ab 2008 stellte man in einem langwierigen Umbau auch die ursprüngliche Raumfolge der fürstbischöflichen Appartements in der Beletage wieder her. So sehen Besucher seit 2017 Möbel, Gemälde, Tapisserien und andere Kunstschätze nicht mehr als museale Schau, sondern in ihrem räumlichen Zusammenhang.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
Öffnungszeiten und Führungen in Schloss Bruchsal
Von Dienstag bis Sonntag und an Feiertagen gibt es täglich und ganzjährig Führungen durch die Schlossräume von Schloss Bruchsal. Außerdem werden thematische Sonderführungen angeboten.
