Schloss Blumenstein (Wildeck)

Schloss Blumenstein, the Hessian Sanssouci, with right before it, a guest house, and the Blumenstein hunting lodge in the hills above it

The Blumenstein summer palace (German: Sommerschloss Blumenstein), also named Schloss Wildeck, is a former neoclassical palace in Wildeck, in northeastern Hesse, Germany. It was a hunting lodge and summer residence of landgraves of Hessen-Rotenburg. Once it was called the Hessian Sanssouci, so fantastic were the palace and the English landscape garden parks that were located here.[1] When the last landgrave passed away in 1834, the palace fell into oblivion. Today, there are remains of the palace gardens and some of its ancillary buildings.
