Jagdschloss Walkenried, Hunting lodge in Walkenried, Germany.

Jagdschloss Walkenried is a Baroque mansion with a square floor plan and pyramid-shaped roof, situated at the southern edge of Walkenried village. The building now functions as a hotel, with its former hunting hall containing a coffee roasting facility, wine cellar, and library.

Hermann Korb inspected the site in 1720 and wrongly assumed pile foundations would be needed; construction only began in March 1725 after a lime kiln was built to burn the local bitter limestone. The shell was finished after two years, and Ernst Binteweis completed the interior by 1730, including oak panelling that cost 300 Reichstaler. From 1756 to 1966 the building housed the forestry authority.

The building's name recalls its origin as a princely hunting lodge, but from 1756 to 1966 it housed the forestry authority without interruption. Agnese Margaretha von Münchhausen lived here until her death in 1756, after which an Oberforstbediensteter moved in. Since 1976 the listed building has operated as a hotel-pension.

The two-hectare park around the lodge is private and not open to the public; only house guests receive a radio transmitter for the gate on Schloßstraße and the drive in. The building itself is a hotel-pension, so non-guests should enquire before entering. The K 424/L 603 runs past the grounds toward Wiedigshof on the Thuringian border.

The inscription "WA-GALLIABBIS" under the cornice of the south entrance is set upside down. It comes from stone remnants of the local church ruin reused in the building, and its meaning has never been deciphered. Look for it just below the cornice on the entrance side.
