    Tips

    The Pheasant Palace is one of the oldest buildings in Karlsruhe. It is located on Richard-Willstätter-Allee and today houses the Forestry Education Center (FBZ).

    In 1711, even before the laying of the foundation stone of Karlsruhe Palace and the founding of Karlsruhe, Margrave Karl Wilhelm had a game park, the Pheasant Garden, created in the Hardtwald Forest. In 1714, he first had a wooden hunting lodge built. In 1764/1765, this was replaced by the present-day Pheasant Palace under Margrave Karl Friedrich. The palace's architect was Albrecht Friedrich von Kesslau.

    The Pheasant Palace includes two Chinese teahouses. The Chinese style reflected a fashion in the Romantic period. The exterior facades of the buildings were faithfully restored for the 1967 Federal Garden Show.

    The Pheasantry, which at one time housed more than 3,000 pheasants, was closed in 1866 for cost reasons.

    In 1926, the Baden Forestry School moved in.

      A beautiful baroque palace with two Chinese pavilions facing each other.

      When it was built approximately 260 years ago, this was a pheasant garden serving as a hunting and game park, and the ground floor of the palace actually housed the pheasants' breeding quarters.

      However, the building was soon used for social purposes, and the pheasants had to breed elsewhere. Today, the building houses the Forestry Education Center.

        The Pheasant Palace is a pleasure and tea house in Karlsruhe's Pheasant Garden, east of the palace tower. It was built in the Chinese style between 1764 and 1765. Together with two opposing pavilions, also in the Chinese style, it forms an architectural ensemble around an oval square. Initially, the building was used to raise pheasants until it was converted into a palace around 1773 during the transformation of the palace garden into an English landscape garden. Source: Wikipedia
        The buildings are now used by the Baden-Württemberg Forestry Service.
