The Neuhaus hunting lodge is located in Neuhaus im Solling .

history

In 1791 the hunting lodge was under Georg III. erected without appearing in person. Initially, it was the service and residential building for the managers and staff of the stud that was completed in the previous decade. The castle and outbuildings form a large rectangle with an inner courtyard. Georg's youngest son, Adolphus Frederick , used to hold court hunts from here, so that the castle eventually became known as a hunting lodge.

Chapel of the hunting lodge

A classical chapel on the road to Dassel also belonged to the stud . This Protestant chapel is now a stopover on the Loccum – Volkenroda pilgrimage route ; the Catholic Church, on the other hand, was only built around 1975. The breeding isabellfarbener horses in the stud was made for the Hanoverian royal stables . After the area was assigned to Prussia, the Prussian Army set up a depot for Remont horses here as well as a few kilometers further east in the Hunnesrück Stud . After a lease expired in 1900, the horse depot in Neuhaus was closed and the castle building served as the chief forester's office from then on. From 1893 Maximilian Gussone, grandfather of Hans Achim Gussone , was forest manager here for 31 years, as a memorial plaque on the road to Silberborn reminds of. In 1959 a new forestry office was built and the castle was then sold to private customers.

The hunting lodge can only be viewed from the outside today.
