The "Green House", built in 1727 as a hunting lodge, was used by the dukes as bad weather accommodation and "dining room". It is located in a forest clearing near the Rieseneck hunting facility and has a kitchen, a living room, several bedrooms on the upper floor and attic and a balcony. Here the hunting guests were accommodated. The adjoining coach house with hayloft was used to house the carriages and horses.

The Green House was built in 1727 as a hunting lodge and since then has served the dukes as a bad-weather shelter and "dining room". The two-storey building with a wooden gazebo is located in a forest clearing near the Rieseneck hunting facility. The simply furnished building has a kitchen, a living room, several bedrooms on the upper floor and attic and a balcony. The ensemble of the Green House in the immediate vicinity includes the former stables, the coach house, a venison cellar with a dry floor and the well house built in GDR times.

Hiking

The dukes' hunting guests, who were mostly accommodated in the Fröhliche Nachkunft and Hummelshain castles, then found their way to Rieseneck and prepared for the hunt in the "Green House", while their carriages were parked in the coach house, which still exists today.
