Jagdschloss Giesel, Hunting lodge in Neuhof, Germany.

Jagdschloss Giesel is a single-storey rectangular building with five window axes, measuring 17.15 by 10.62 metres, its long side facing northwest under a high hipped roof. Its walls are about 1.20 metres thick, and the original roof frame of hewn oak beams up to 30 cm thick needs no intermediate posts. The coat of arms of Konstantin von Buttlar with the year 1717 sits above the entrance portal.

A water castle at Giesel is documented from the 14th century, when Prince-Abbot Heinrich VI von Hohenberg had the Neue Burg built around 1340 by damming the Giesel stream. The castle decayed and was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. In 1717 Prince-Abbot Konstantin von Buttlar erected the present lodge on the old foundations; after secularisation in 1803 it became a forestry office.

Above the entrance portal is the coat of arms of Konstantin von Buttlar, Prince-Abbot of Fulda, with the year 1717. It marks the lodge's builder and its link to the Fulda prince-abbots, who used it as a hunting lodge until secularisation in 1803.

This building is in private ownership and visitor access requires advance planning or local inquiry. Contacting the area beforehand will help determine if a visit can be arranged.

About one third of the former moat can still be seen from Schloßstraße; the other two thirds of the northeastern ditch were filled with excavated earth in the 1960s when the Giesel stream was piped underground and the land turned into meadow.
