Schaudichnichtum Lodge

Schaudichnichtum Lodge (German: Schloss Schaudichnichtum) was a former hunting lodge southwest of the town of Bad Dürkheim in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Today the hunting lodge is a ruin; all that remains are a few foundation wall remnants, outlines in the terrain and a monument.

It was probably destroyed in 1793, when the French Revolution spilled over into the present day region of Palatinate.

The local population re-christened the ruins in the 19th century taking their theme from the names of the nearby lodges of Kehrdichannichts and Murrmirnichtviel, resulting in it being called "Schaudichnichtum", meaning "do not look round".

In 1963 the lodge, which had been managed since 1816 by the old royal Bavarian forestry commission, was transferred to the Rhineland-Palatinate State Castle Authority.
