    The Petershainer Hof is located in the district of Kölzenhain, a district of Ulrichstein in the Vogelsberg district, approximately two kilometers west-southwest of the village on the left bank of the Seenbach.
    The Petershainer Hof has gone through various forms of settlement in its history. There was originally a castle there. A farm was later built there. In 1365 and 1367 the place was described as desolate.
    Remains of the former castle are no longer visible today
    After the place had been a desert for over 100 years, the Petershainer Hof was built in 1493 on the site of the castle.
    Of the six former farms, two still exist at the Petershainer Hof; the others were abandoned in the middle of the 19th century. In 1854 the district area was 531 acres, of which 177 acres were fields, 185 acres were forests and 135 acres were meadows.


    The Petershainer Hof 2 complex, built in 1818 and used as a Hessian forester's lodge from 1853, is now a listed building. The ensemble consists of a classicist half-timbered house as the main building, a barn and a bakery located off the Seenbach. The former stable on the farm was replaced by a solid building.
    Today, a youth forest home is operated in Petershainer Hof 2 by the Hesse regional association of the German Forest Protection Association in collaboration with Hessen-Forst.
