History+

Commissioned by Fulda's Prince-Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras, whose coat of arms still adorns the entrance portal, the castle was built between 1700 and 1714. Johann Dientzenhofer was responsible as the master builder for the construction of the new castle, which served the prince-abbots and prince-bishops as a hunting lodge and summer residence. Following the secularization of the Fulda region, the castle housed various public institutions, including the forestry office, the school after-school care center, and at times even parts of the local primary school.
