Jagdschloss Niederwald, Hunting castle in Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany
The Niederwald Hunting Castle stands on a clearing in the forest above Assmannshausen, connected to the Rhine Valley by a chairlift system.
Count Johann Friedrich Karl Maximilian von Ostein commissioned the construction of the rectangular building with a slate-covered hip roof in 1764.
In 1948, the castle hosted the Niederwald Conference where eleven West German minister presidents prepared the foundations for a new constitution.
The castle functions as a hotel and restaurant, offering accommodations, seasonal game dishes, and access to a swimming pool and sauna facilities.
The Green Salon within the castle served as the meeting place where Konrad Adenauer and regional leaders developed the German Basic Law.
