Katharinenhof Castle, Hunting lodge in Backnang, Germany.
The two-floor rectangular castle features late classicist architecture with risalits and a flat gable roof topped with a viewing platform.
Prince Friedrich of Württemberg and his wife Katharina commissioned the construction of Katharinenhof Castle in 1847 as their hunting residence.
In 1927, the castle hosted a significant meeting of German political and economic leaders to establish the Bund zur Erneuerung des Reiches.
The castle and its surrounding park, spanning 21.8 hectares, remain private property and are currently closed to public access.
Under current owner Peter Seydelmann since 1993, the castle grounds are being transformed into a sanctuary for endangered species.
