Jagdschloss Platte, Hunting lodge in Nordost, Germany.

Jagdschloss Platte is a former hunting lodge on the wooded Platte plateau at 498 m in the Taunus, north of Wiesbaden. Its three-storey facade has a red Main sandstone base, six pilasters across the upper floors, and a modern glass and steel roof added in 2003. The building stands on a grassy slope.

Duke William I of Nassau commissioned court architect Friedrich Ludwig Schrumpf to build the lodge between 1823 and 1826, after becoming duke in 1816. In 1945 a British air raid destroyed it except for the outer walls, and from 1987 the Stiftung Jagdschloss Platte led its rebuilding, completed in 2007.

The interior decoration followed the building's hunting purpose: the stair hall held numerous stag antlers arranged to decrease in size upward, and the duke's reception room contained furniture made entirely of antlers. The halls displayed oil paintings by the Wiesbaden painter Reuren showing landscapes with red deer. The dining room on the ground floor was paneled in Nassau marble.

The lodge stands on the wooded Platte plateau at 498 m, with the B417 running just west of it. The site is reached via the road north of Wiesbaden; the Rabengrund nature reserve lies 1.5 km south. The building is used for events and is accessible in connection with the adjoining Gasthof Jagdschloss Platte.

The flat top of the original roof served as a viewing platform over the Wiesbaden basin and the Rhine plain. Since the 2003 glass roof, a bridge beneath it has taken over that role, with a view of Wiesbaden from its southern end.
