Jagdschlösschen, Heritage hunting château in Bad Iburg, Germany.

The Jagdschlösschen is a two-story half-timbered building with a hipped roof, built in 1595 as Haus Freudenthal on the southern slope below Iburg Castle. Its cream facade has grouped upper-floor windows between pilasters, each painted with a small dark figure at top and bottom. A grey sign above the recessed wooden entrance reads "DIE FÖRSTEREI".

Philipp Sigismund von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, Protestant prince-bishop of Osnabrück from 1591 to 1623, had Haus Freudenthal built in 1595 in his pleasure garden on the southern slope below Iburg Castle. In 1650 his successor Franz Wilhelm von Wartenberg ordered it dismantled and rebuilt in the Thiergarten. After secularisation in 1803 it became the district foresters' residence, where they were allowed to run a tavern, hence the name Altes Forsthaus Freudenthal.

The 24 carved wooden figures under the eaves were made by Osnabrück sculptor Adam Stenelt, who is also credited with three epitaphs in the St. Nikolaus parish church in Bad Iburg, reliefs on the organ gallery of St. Clemens Castle Church, the coat of arms of the Schlossmühle and carvings at Haus Große Straße 6. The building is now called Jagdschlösschen again, its name before it became the Altes Forsthaus Freudenthal.

The building now operates as a restaurant located at Philipp-Sigismund-Allee 2, where visitors can make reservations. The hillside location requires a short walk uphill from the town center, but the south-facing position offers pleasant views of the surrounding area.

The 24 carved wooden figures under the roof cornice are attributed to Osnabrück sculptor Adam Stenelt, who is also credited with three epitaphs in the St. Nikolaus parish church in Bad Iburg, reliefs on the organ gallery of St. Clemens castle church, the coat of arms of the castle mill and carvings at Haus Große Straße 6.
