Fasanerie Palace

Known as one of Hesse’s most beautiful baroque palaces, Fasanerie Palace is located on a gentle slope four miles south of Fulda. Adapted harmoniously to the terrain of rolling hills, the attractive location was approached with great sensitivity by the builder and his architects. With its splendid integration of park and castle buildings, the layout of the grounds provides the contemporary visitor with a glimpse into a princely summer residence of past centuries. Included are official castle wings and simple estate buildings, playful park pavilions and horse stables. Today Fasanerie Palace belongs to a Foundation, which operates a museum in the castle’s interior, where rooms are gorgeously arranged and exquisite works of art exhibited. The castle also houses the archive of the princely family. Each spring, Fasanerie Palace hosts its annual Garden Festival focused on a special theme.
