House of Mirrors
The mirror house , also known as Spiegelhof , is a hunting lodge in the Gernrodes district in Saxony-Anhalt .
location
It is located in the woods south of Gernrode in the Harz Mountains on the north side of the Bärweg leading from the Sternhaus to the Bremer Teich .
history
In 1778 the mirror house was built by Ernst Ludwig Christoph von Spiegel , from which the name of the building goes back. Other information cites Friedrich Albrecht von Anhalt-Bernburg as the builder , who named it after him in honor of Spiegel, who often went hunting with the prince. In the 18th century, the landlord of the Sternhaus, a little more than a kilometer to the east, was responsible for overseeing the property. At the beginning of the 19th century, there was a fenced meadow right next to the mirror house. The area, partly overgrown with trees, was used to carry out hunts . While the mirror house was sometimes referred to as an uninhabited hunting lodge, in 1843 it was run with one building and four residents.
