Jagdschloss Fasanerie

The Jagdschloss Fasanerie features a classical architectural design with two corner pavilions situated at the edge of a small forest near Meiningen.

Duke George I commissioned the construction of the lodge around 1790, which later endured plundering by Russian Cossacks during the Napoleonic period.

The lodge transformed from an exclusive ducal hunting ground into a public nature park after the 1848 revolution, making it accessible to all citizens.

The Main-Werra long-distance cycling route passes directly by the castle, connecting visitors to the surrounding landscape through designated pathways.

The grounds include a nature and bee educational trail in the adjacent forest, providing information about local flora and fauna.
