Schloss Herzogsfreude, Hunting lodge in Röttgen, Bonn, Germany.
The palace featured several wide avenues that extended through the Kottenforst forest, creating a network of paths for hunting activities.
Architect Johann Heinrich Roth designed the palace between 1753 and 1761 for Clemens August of Bavaria, Prince-Elector and Archbishop of Cologne.
The palace served as a central point for par force hunts, where hunters would wait until their prey became exhausted before pursuing it.
A bronze miniature model of the palace stands at Schlossplatz, marking the location where the original structure once stood.
The French Revolution led to the palace's sale at public auction in 1804, and its materials were used to expand the Wesel citadel.
