Schloss Fasanerie, Baroque palace in Eichenzell, Germany
The palace exhibits extensive baroque architecture with symmetrical wings, ornate facades, and formal gardens spreading across the Eichenzell landscape.
Construction of Schloss Fasanerie occurred between 1730 and 1757 under the direction of architect Johann Dientzenhofer as a summer residence for Fulda's prince-abbots.
The palace museum contains one of Germany's largest private porcelain collections, displaying pieces from multiple European manufacturing periods and styles.
Visitors can access guided tours from April through November, with hourly departures allowing exploration of the palace's historical rooms and exhibitions.
The name Fasanerie originates from its initial purpose as a pheasantry and hunting lodge before its transformation into a grand baroque residence.

Hesse preserves an extensive collection of historic structures spanning nearly two millennia. The Roman fort of Saalburg near Bad Homburg documents 2nd century frontier fortifications along the Limes. Medieval monasteries such as Arnsburg near Lich and Seligenstadt demonstrate Carolingian and Romanesque construction, while the abbey ruins at Bad Hersfeld reveal the architectural scale of Benedictine establishments. The Abbey of Lorsch holds UNESCO World Heritage status and presents through its gatehouse one of the most important examples of early medieval architecture north of the Alps. The region connects these religious and military structures with castles and palaces from various periods. Münzenberg Castle and the ruins at Ulrichstein document Hohenstaufen fortification techniques, while Braunfels Palace and Friedrichstein Palace in Bad Wildungen illustrate the evolution from defensive stronghold to residence. The Grimm Brothers House in Steinau an der Straße links literary heritage with regional history. Geological formations such as the Rock Sea in the Odenwald and the Crystal Cave at Kubach complement the human built monuments with natural history features.
