The historic hunting lodge is located in the outer bailey of Linn Castle in Krefeld on the Lower Rhine and is well worth seeing.

In the 18th century, Elector Clemens August had a hunting lodge built from an old winery. Later the entrepreneur company de Greiff moved into the hunting lodge. Today there is also an exhibition of mechanical musical instruments in the hunting lodge, which are presented on Sundays at 11.30 a.m. and can be viewed during the opening hours from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A carillon was also installed on the portal of the historic hunting lodge in the 1990s.
