Schloss Friedrichstein, Royal palace in Bad Wildungen, Germany
The yellow-walled Schloss Friedrichstein stands on an elevated position, offering views across the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park and surrounding Hessian countryside.

The palace houses exhibitions dedicated to Hessian hunting traditions and contains a rare Turkish audience tent from approximately 1700.
