Jagdschloss Neuhaus

Jagdschloss Neuhaus is a hunting lodge in the Weserbergland region of Lower Saxony, situated within the dense forests and protected natural areas of Solling-Vogler. The structure remains in private ownership today, though visitors can view the exterior and freely access the surrounding hiking trails of Naturpark Solling-Vogler.

Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel built the lodge in 1599 as a retreat for hunting parties. After suffering destruction during the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1667 and subsequently adapted for various uses over the following centuries.

The lodge reflects aristocratic hunting traditions and the way nobility in the region spent their leisure time. Walking around the grounds, you can sense how important hunting was to local noble families and their social life.

The lodge is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. The surrounding walking trails of the nature park are freely accessible, providing good opportunities to explore the area and see the building from different viewpoints.

The building was converted into a dairy house in 1756 and later served as a forester's office until 1964, long after its hunting lodge days. This surprising change in purpose reveals how the structure adapted to different needs over the centuries.
