Museum of Nature, Hunting, and Culture at Springe Hunting Lodge

Between 1836 and 1839, the Saupark wall was built around the Hallermunt castle ruins to enclose the royal hunting grounds. The palace was built between 1838 and 1842, based in part on plans by G. F. L. Laves, as a hunting lodge for the Hanoverian royal family. Due to the greater space requirements for imperial hunts, the hunting lodge was expanded between 1875 and 1912.

Since 1967, it has housed the "Museum of Nature, Hunting, and Culture" and, as a tenant, the State Hunting Association’s Hunter Training Center. The exhibition on the ground floor uses taxidermy specimens and drawings to provide information about the life and behavior of local wildlife, as well as the history of hunting and the wild boar park. It explains the duties of a hunter to visitors and also serves as an educational collection for classroom instruction. Particularly impressive is the architectural setting of the exhibition, which has been reopened in the castle’s neoclassical rooms.
