Waldvogteiamt, Renaissance administrative building in Waldshut, Germany

The Waldvogteiamt features a barrel-vaulted cellar, with a round tower and Neo-Renaissance portal added to the structure in 1904.

Ferdinand Weitzenegger designed this administrative building around 1775, replacing an earlier structure from 1610 that served the Habsburg administration.

The building acted as the seat of the Waldvogt, an administrative authority who oversaw the territory of Hauenstein County under Austrian rule.

The State Prosecutor's Office of Waldshut-Tiengen currently operates from this historical building in the center of Waldshut.

King Maximilian issued a 17-article ordinance in 1507 governing the administration of this building, which remained valid until the 18th century.
