Schloß Wolfsgarten, Baroque hunting lodge in Langen, Germany.
Schloß Wolfsgarten is a Baroque hunting lodge made of brick in Langen, Hesse, standing at an elevation of 115 meters with its main wing running from north to south. The building is surrounded by gardens that include a rectangular courtyard and several adjoining structures.
Louis Remy de la Fosse designed the lodge in 1724 for Ernest Louis, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, who used it as a base for his hunting expeditions. An expansion followed in 1768 to meet the growing needs of the court.
The name refers to the wolves that once roamed this hunting ground when the lodge served its original purpose. Visitors during the garden festivals can see how the grounds transform when rhododendrons bloom between the old walls and pathways.
The lodge opens only during special events such as the Rhododendron Blossom Festival in May and the Garden Festival in September. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the paths lead through extensive parkland and may require several hours of walking.
A stone-bordered pond lies in the western meadow of the estate and reflects the surrounding vegetation on calm days. The eastern section shows an intensively planted courtyard where different garden styles meet in a small space.
