Zeughaus

The Zeughaus stands as a stone structure with multiple floors, featuring traditional architectural elements characteristic of Saxon building design.

Originally constructed as a wooden armory in 1728 under August the Strong's commission, the building was rebuilt in stone in 1820 with an additional floor added in 1871.

The building served multiple functions throughout its existence, transitioning from a hunting equipment storage facility to a gamekeeper residence and later a tourist destination.

The National Park Administration maintains an information center at the former Revierförsterei, providing educational materials about historical hunting practices in the region.

A historical pond located below the Zeughaus, dating back to the 15th century, underwent restoration in 2012 after being converted to meadowland before World War I.
