Fasanenschlösschen, Eighteenth-century Chinese-style palace in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Fasanenschlösschen is a two-storey building with a pale grey or beige facade, a dark sloped roof and a small spire with a cross-shaped finial. Its upper storey has eight round-arched windows, the lower storey seven plus a central double door, with circular medallions above the lower arches. Two pavilions in the Chinese style face it across an oval space.

Built between 1764 and 1765 for Margrave Karl Friedrich, the lodge rose on the site of an earlier hunting shelter at this forest clearing. This new construction marked a shift in how the location was used.

The name Fasanenschlösschen, "little pheasant palace", recalls the building's first role: the ground floor held the breeding rooms, the upper floor the pheasant master's flat, and golden and silver pheasants were kept in the two facing pavilions. When the court took over the ensemble for social gatherings, the pheasants were moved out and the breeding rooms became a hall.

The building now houses a state forestry education center and can sometimes be visited upon arrangement. It helps to check ahead for visiting times, since the building functions as an active workplace.

The ground floor once held breeding areas for pheasants while the upper level served as the game master's residence. Over time the building transformed into a social gathering place for notable visitors.
