Schloss Fuschl is a castle in the gemeinde of Hof bei Salzburg, in the Land Salzburg in western Austria. It stands on a peninsula at the western end of Lake Fuschl. It was built in about 1450 by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg, who used it as a hunting lodge.[1] It decayed steadily until the 1860s, when it was restored. After the Anschluss of 1938, Hitler gave the use of the castle to Joachim von Ribbentrop, his foreign minister.[2]: 41 It was made into a hotel in the 1950s.[1]
