Jagdschloss Rathsfeld

Jagdschloss Rathsfeld is a hunting lodge in Kyffhäuserland built during the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring timber frames combined with stone walls in the regional style. The building has multiple rooms and spaces originally designed to accommodate hunting parties over extended stays.

The lodge was built during a period when hunting expeditions were central to noble life, particularly in the 18th century. It reflects an era when such hunting pavilions were scattered across Germany and shaped the lifestyle of the aristocracy.

The interior spaces display hunting trophies and artwork depicting regional hunting traditions, reflecting the social practices of German nobility through different centuries.

The building sits in the Kyffhäuser region and is reached by country roads clearly marked in this rural area. Visitors should note that the location is remote and quiet, so planning your visit ahead is helpful.

The lodge forms part of a network of historical hunting properties in Thuringia, contributing to the documentation of aristocratic outdoor activities in central Germany.
