The former Jagdschloss Baum (Baum Hunting Lodge) is a small ''Schloss'' near Bückeburg along the road to Lahde in the Schaumburg Forest. Jagdschloss Baum was built between 1760 and 1761 by Count Wilhelm zu Schaumburg Lippe and is considered a prime example of late Baroque Classicism. An English landscape garden with a small pond adjoins the lodge. Just beyond the pond is a grotto flanked by two portals. These early Baroque portals were installed in 1758 and were probably created between 1604 and 1606 for the Bückeburg Palace's first-floor great hall. In 1776, Wilhelm zu Schaumburg Lippe built a step pyramid family mausoleum in the park near the lodge. Its entrance consists of an eastern-facing portico portal. Originally, ornamental plants were placed along the pyramid's stepped sides. The mausoleum was situated initially in a hedge garden which was later converted into a wooded park with alleyways.〔Sascha Winter: ''Grabmalkultur und Gartenkunst um 1800.''

Berlin 2009, ISBN 978-3-496-02824-6, S. 50-51〕 The lodge owes its name to a tollgate (''Schlag''baum) located not far from the border of the small ''Fürstentum'' (principality) where the toll was collected. Today, the hunting lodge serves as the conference and recreation center for the ''Landeskirche Schaumburg-Lippes Protestant youth group, ''Evangelische Jugend'', as well as an educational center offering seminars, lectures, and holiday and weekend programs. A dining hall, common room, kitchen, and dormitories in the lodge's upper story are used to accommodate the various functions. An adjacent building, constructed after the hunting lodge, provides additional lodging for up to 40 guests.〔Jagdschloss Baum, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdschloss_Baum〕 ==References== 〔 English article is a translation of the German Wikipedia article. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baum Hunting Lodge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
