Jagdschloss Krähberg stands in Ober-Sensbach (Odenwaldkreis), in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 18th century. No visits are on record for this building.
The Jagdschloss Krähberg stands on a wooded plateau at the summit of the Krähberg hill, north of Ober-Sensbach in the Odenwald region. Built in the 18th century for the House of Erbach-Fürstenau, this former hunting lodge forms a late Baroque ensemble arranged around a central manor house flanked by four timber-framed corner pavilions. The grounds also include later additions such as a deep draw well and an octagonal tea pavilion, remnants of an estate life that continued into the 20th century.
