Schloss Blumenstein (Wildeck)

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. 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.
