Huttenschlösschen, Baroque estate in Würzburg, Germany
Huttenschlösschen is a Baroque estate in Würzburg featuring a three-story central building with a mezzanine level. Two lower side pavilions flank the main structure symmetrically, creating a balanced composition typical of early 18th-century residential architecture.
The building was constructed between 1719 and 1721 for Christoph Franz von Hutten as a summer residence. Its creation marked a significant point in his rise to power, eventually becoming Prince-Bishop.
Since 1884, the building functions as the headquarters of Corps Rhenania, a student fraternity that maintains the historical structure for their gatherings.
The building stands at Sanderglacisstraße 10, near the Ludwigsbrücke and the Ringpark. It is a protected architectural monument. The site was raised by about 1.6 metres during the Mainufer regulation around 1900, so the entrance level differs from the original setting.
In 1904/1905 the building was dismantled and rebuilt slightly upstream at Sanderglacisstraße 10, turned 90 degrees together with its two side gates so that its axis aligned with the new Ringpark laid out on the former city fortifications. The site had been raised about 1.6 metres during construction of the Ludwigsbrücke and the Hochkai, and the building was given a cellar at that time.
