Burghaun hunting lodge

Coat of arms of Amand von Buseck

The hunting lodge Burghaun is the former princely hunting lodge and today's forestry office in Burghaun (Schlossstrasse 12) in the district of Fulda in Hesse .

The hunting lodge was built in 1744 by the Fulda abbot Amand von Buseck , secularized in 1803 and has housed the Burghaun Forestry Office since 1868, which is now subordinate to the Hessen-Forst State Office .

The palace complex is a simple seven-axis complex with pilaster structures and a gable roof with the coat of arms of Amand von Buseck above the entrance.

During construction work that usefully combined the baroque with the modern , an old cistern was uncovered, structurally secured, illuminated inside and provided with a glass plate so that one can see the water in the depths.
