Neuhaus Castle
Neuhaus Hunting Lodge is located in Neuhaus im Solling.
The hunting lodge was built in 1791 under George III, without him personally appearing. Initially, it served as a service and residential building for the administrators and staff of the stud farm completed in the preceding decade. The lodge and outbuildings form a large rectangle with an inner courtyard. George's youngest son, Adolphus Frederick, repeatedly hosted court hunts from here, so the lodge eventually became known as a hunting lodge.
The stud farm also included a neoclassical chapel located on the road to Dassel. This Protestant chapel is now a stop on the Loccum–Volkenroda pilgrimage route; the Catholic church, on the other hand, was only built around 1975. The breeding of Isabella-colored horses at the stud farm was for the Hanoverian Royal Stables. After the area was assigned to Prussia, the Prussian Army established a depot for remount horses here, as well as a few kilometers further east at the Hunnesrück stud farm. After a lease expired in 1900, the horse depot in Neuhaus was dissolved, and the lodge building subsequently served as a chief forester's office. From 1893, Maximilian Gussone, grandfather of Hans Achim Gussone, was the forest administrator here for 31 years, which is commemorated by a plaque on the road to Silberborn. In 1959, a new forestry office building was constructed, and the lodge was subsequently sold to private owners.
The hunting lodge is now only accessible from the outside.
