Schloss Waldenbuch, Renaissance hunting lodge in Waldenbuch, Germany

Schloss Waldenbuch stands as a rectangular structure with a spiral staircase tower, featuring Renaissance architecture and Gothic tracery windows from a former church.

First documented in 1381, the castle transformed into a hunting lodge between 1562 and 1566 under Duke Christoph, with major expansions in 1607 by Duke Friedrich I.

The Museum of Everyday Culture occupies 2500 square meters of the castle, displaying rural and middle-class life artifacts from past centuries.

The museum operates Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from 10:00 to 18:00, with admission at 4 euros for adults and free for visitors under 18.

During the final royal hunt at the castle in 1812, hunters recorded taking 233 wild boars, 297 deer, and 211 roe deer in a single day.
