Jagdschloss Hövelhof, Former prince-bishops' hunting lodge in Hövelhof, Germany.
The stone structure features multiple outbuildings including a kitchen, stable, and animal house, forming a substantial architectural ensemble in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Prince-Bishop Dietrich Adolph von der Recke commissioned the construction of Jagdschloss Hövelhof in 1661 for hunting activities in the Senne region.
From 1715, the castle became a parish house when Levinus Richter, the first permanent clergyman, established residence and provided education to local children.
The exterior of Jagdschloss Hövelhof at Schloßstraße 9 remains accessible throughout the year, though interior access requires special arrangements.
The building transformed from a noble hunting retreat to an educational center where students paid fees to receive instruction from the resident clergy.
