    The former forester's house stands on the foundations of the former Blumenstein summer palace, also known as the valley palace. This landgrave's pleasure and hunting palace and the adjacent large park were built under Landgrave Konstantin from 1770 onwards. It replaced the old Blumenstein hunting lodge, which stood on the mountain. After the Rotenburg landgrave Victor Amadeus, Konstantin's grandson, died childless in 1834, the entire property in the Wildeck valley reverted to the Electors of Hesse-Kassel, who allowed the grounds to fall into disrepair. The summer palace was sold for demolition in the 1870s, only the foundations and the representative curved staircase are still original. The current building was built as a forester's house in 1880 (dissolved in 1967). lagis-hessen.de/de/subjects/rsrec/sn/ol/register/ort/entry/63202004003:wildecker+forst+(talschloss+wildeck)

      A very interesting building that fits perfectly into the Wildeck Valley.
