Jagdschloss Kranichstein HDR
A ''Jagdschloss'' is a hunting lodge in German-speaking countries. It is a ''schloss'' set in a wildlife park or a hunting area (such as a forest, field or by a lake) that served primarily as accommodation for a ruler or aristocrat and his entourage while hunting in the area. Characteristics A ''Jagdschloss'' was often the venue for a banquet accompanying a hunt, and sometimes it also hosted festivals and other events. The term ''Jagdschloss'' is often equated to the ''Lustschloss'' or ''maison de plaisance'', particularly as the hunt was also a recreational activity. However, a ''Lustschloss'' and ''Jagdschloss'' differ in function as well as architecture. The layout and furnishing of a ''Lustschloss'' is unconstrained, while that of a ''Jagdschloss'' is always related to hunting: the walls may be adorned with antlers and other trophies, with scenes of hunting, and also by a deliberate use of wood or other natural materials. A ''Jagdschloss'' could also be very lavishly furnis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
