The early neoclassical bathhouse with rich sculptural decoration was the only park building used for residential purposes and still has original furniture.

The bath house is rightly described as a precious masterpiece in the palace gardens of Schwetzingen. Elector Carl Theodor had this retreat built between 1768 and 1772.

The term "bathhouse" only partly reflects the purpose of the small pleasure palace. It is not even known if the elector ever used the large marble pool – from which the name comes – himself. Rather, what has been handed down is that he discussed and played music here with selected guests in a small circle. The musician Christian Daniel Schubart remembers a visit to the elector in 1773: "As was his habit, he was in the bathhouse, a small but extremely tasteful building in the Schwetzingen garden, which Princes Gallian and Ysenburg, who Frau von Sturmfeder and a couple of gentlemen were with him. He had shed almost all glamor and every expression of doubting majesty – as Klopstock put it – and just seemed to be a good person and an amiable companion.” Schubart goes on to report that the elector played the flute himself, made music with those present and about literature and art spoken.
