Gothic House, Gothic Revival monument in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany.

The Gothic House stands at the end of Tannenwaldallee, connecting Bad Homburg Castle through a tree-lined avenue in the Dornholzhausen district.

Landgräfin Elisabeth commissioned the construction of this hunting lodge in 1823, using funds from her dowry for her husband Frederick VI of Hesse-Homburg.

The building houses exhibitions about local history, art collections, and displays dedicated to the development of the Homburg hat manufacturing traditions.

Visitors can access the cultural history museum and town archives within the Gothic House, which underwent substantial restoration work after a fire in 1980.

The structure sits near the burial site of Frederick's horse Madjar from 1773, marked by the landgrave's personal commemorative poem.
