Jagdschloss Wabern, Baroque hunting lodge in Wabern, Germany.

The main building stands in a horseshoe layout with side pavilions connected by galleries, featuring a central projection with a decorated balcony on the park side.

Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel commissioned architect Johann Konrad Giesler to construct the lodge between 1704 and 1707 on piled foundations in marshy terrain.

The lodge displayed a collection of 500 oil paintings and 1200 copper engravings, including works by the Tischbein family depicting hunting scenes and castle life.

The lodge now functions as a day clinic and outpatient facility for child and adolescent psychiatry under the management of Vitos Klinik Bad Wilhelmshöhe.

Philosopher Voltaire stayed at the lodge for three days in May 1753 during his return journey to France while visiting Landgrave Wilhelm VIII.
