Karlsbrunn hunting lodge
The Karlsbrunn Hunting Lodge is a small castle in the Großrosseln district of Karlsbrunn . It is part of the Barockstraße SaarPfalz and is a listed building .
history
The small hamlet of Karlsbrunn was created in 1717 from the settlement of glassblowers and the establishment of a small glassworks . The place initially called "Spiegelhütte" was later named after Count Karl Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken .
The nearby forest was once the hunting ground of the Saargau Counts and the Nassau dynasty, who later ruled in succession. That is why Prince Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken had Oberchaussee director Johannes Philip von Welling or Friedrich Joachim Stengel build a simple hunting lodge in the Baroque style here between 1769 and 1783 , which Balthasar Wilhelm Stengel expanded into today's three-winged building complex between 1783 and 1786. In 1840 the hunting lodge became the property of the Prussian forest administration. The foresters subsequently expanded the baroque garden and planted exotic trees here.
architecture
On a terrace above the main road through the small town stands the property with its core building and two forward wings. The four-axis middle section of the central building is three-story with a half-hip roof . This is followed by two two-storey and two-axle intermediate buildings that connect the two side wings with the central building. The access to the Ehrenhof is through the left wing. The building is entered via a two-flight, high staircase, in front of which there is a guard house and which almost covers the basement. The 1st and 2nd floors are separated by a circumferential cornice; wide corner pilaster strips adorn the central building. Eaves cornices complete the central structure and the intermediate building. Due to the rising terrain, the rear of the central building is only two-story. The intermediate building and side wing have small triangular dormer windows . The side wings were used as farm buildings and have wide wooden gates.
