Jagdschloss Groß Schönebeck, Renaissance hunting lodge in Groß Schönebeck, Germany.

The two-story brick building features early Baroque elements and stands at the edge of Schorfheide forest, surrounded by the remnants of an ancient moat.

Constructed in 1545 and rebuilt in 1660 by the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm, the lodge replaced a destroyed castle that served defensive purposes along the Havel-Oder line.

The lodge contains a preserved stucco ceiling from its royal hunting period and now functions as the Schorfheide Museum, presenting exhibits about hunting traditions.

Visitors can access the museum Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours during summer months from May to September, offering guided tours for groups.

Friedrich Wilhelm I, the Soldier King of Prussia, developed his administrative reform concepts while staying at this hunting lodge in the Great Heath.
