Schloss Holzheim (hunting seat)

Schloss Holzheim is a former hunting seat of the ruling family of Hesse-Kassel, located in the village of Holzheim, in the German state of Hesse, approximately 80 kilometers south of Kassel. The hunting lodge was built by the architect Charles du Ry between 1732 and 1735, under Frederick I, King of Sweden and Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, in the Baroque style, on the medieval foundation walls of the former manor house of the local noble families Von Holzheim and Von Romrod. Landgrave Charles I of Hesse-Kassel, father of Frederick, had often come here for hunting, and Prince William, brother of Frederick and governor, also favored the location because of the rich game population in the surrounding forest.
