The former hunting lodge was built from 1640 to 1656 on the site of a castle that was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1626.
This previous building was probably built before the year 1000 on a steep mountain spur in the Reiherbachtal. In 1144 it was mentioned in writing by the Counts of Northeim, then passed to the Counts of Dassel and has been owned by the Guelphs since 1274. From 1964 to 1979 and again since 2005, the castle was privately owned and used as a stud farm. It cannot be visited.
Today's building consists of a mighty sandstone basement, a half-timbered upper floor and a sandstone roof. The three-wing complex is grouped around an inner courtyard. The master builder was Albrecht Anton Meldau.

Wood pastures

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Forests in which grazing cattle were kept are called Hutewald. This medieval form of animal husbandry was practiced throughout the Reinhardswald. Only hardy breeds such as Scottish highland cattle, Hungarian steppe cattle, woolly pigs, Galloway cattle or Heidschnucken are suitable for this type of husbandry, as they live in the forest all year round without additional feeding or stabling. Hute forests are no longer important today, but old breeds are kept again in numerous former Hute forests for landscape conservation. Here you can see Heck cattle, sheep and Exmoor ponies.
