"An Italian-style villa, intended only for the beautiful season and in the mildest part of the kingdom" - this wish was realized by King Ludwig I of Bavaria (1786 - 1868) with the Villa Ludwigshöhe Palace near Edenkoben.

The classical villa, reminiscent of antique models, inspires with precious hardwood floors, rich ceiling and wall paintings and a unique view far over the Palatinate and the Rhine plain.

Hiking

Villa Ludwigshöhe Castle is closed until further notice due to renovation work (as of April 2024). That's why you can't walk around it because there's a construction fence here. But you can always enjoy a good view of Villa Ludwigshöhe Castle on a hike through the vineyards near Rhodt unter Riedburg.
