Jagdschloss

A Jagdschloss was often the venue for a banquet accompanying a hunt, and sometimes it also hosted festivals and other events.

The term Jagdschloss is often equated to the Lustschloss or maison de plaisance, particularly as the hunt was also a recreational activity.

A Jagdschloss could also be very lavishly furnished, but unlike a Lustschloss, timber-framed buildings or log cabins were not uncommon.

Only a few imposing stone buildings have survived, which colours the general understanding of what a Jagdschloss is today.

A Jagdschloss often had stables and other outbuildings used to house hunting equipment, coaches and the entourage.
