The hunting lodge was built intentionally to be used as a hunting lodge for the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, namely Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim.

[1][2][3] The Hompesch Hunting Lodge, known locally as Id-Dar tal-Kaċċa, is located on a main road in Naxxar that leads to San Pawl tat-Tarġa.

[1] The Hompesch Hunting Lodge was built with the expense and on the request of ruling Grand Master of the Order of St. John, Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim.

The balcony appears to have lost its original design and today is plastered in cement.

A post was installed in front of the façade by the Naxxar Local Council which gives little information about the building.
