Jagdschloss Platte

Duke Wilhelm von Nassau ordered the construction of the Jagdschloss Platte, a royal hunting lodge, which Friedrich Ludwig Schrumpf erected between 1823 and 1826. After Duke Wilhelm's death in 1839, the palatial lodge was inherited by his son Adolf, the last Duke of Nassau. He held court for the last time at the Jagdschloss Platte in 1865. Despite Nassau's annexation by Prussia in 1866, the Jagdschloss remained the property of the Duke.

In 1913, the Duke's heirs sold the building to the city of Wiesbaden, which used it for various occasions. Shortly before the end of the war, the lodge was severely damaged and deteriorated into a ruin over the subsequent years.  Finally, in 1987, a foundation known today as the Stiftung Jagdschloss Platte e.V. began caring for the building. Today, as a result of restoration and reconstruction work, it is a venue for conferences, meetings and trade fairs.
