The external form of the current complex goes back to the steward Jakob II von Waldburg (1546–1589) and his wife Johanna (1548–1613), who had a new castle built towards the end of the 16th century to replace a previous building that had been destroyed by a chimney fire in 1578.

The main building of the castle consists of four wings, which are arranged in the shape of a rectangle together with four corner towers. The castle is not normally open to the public, but guided tours are offered as part of the annual concerts held in the castle. The baroque-style knights' hall, which is decorated with 24 wooden sculptures and a large ceiling mirror, is particularly worth seeing and is used annually by the Ludwigsburg Castle Festival, among others.The castle also houses the art collection of the House of Waldburg-Wolfegg, also known as the "Wolfegg Cabinet". The Wolfegg Auto Museum is located in an adjoining building of the castle.Source: Wikipedia
