キルヒベルク・アン・デア・ムルの洞窟・トップ20

The castle is not open to the public. Guided tours are occasionally available on Sundays (€10). Dates are published in the press. Registration is required by phone.

Built between 1717 and 1723 according to the plans of the ducal court architect Donato Giuseppe Frisoni, the palace was connected to the Residenzschloss (Residenz Palace) via an avenue. It was intended to be both an eye-catcher and a vantage point. Two sweeping staircases lead up to the impressive main floor, where the ballroom and the smaller rooms are located. A roof terrace with four small towers offered a wonderful view over the Tiergarten, today's Favoritepark.

The castle ruins from the 13th century are idyllically nestled in the vineyards. From there you have a panoramic view of the vineyards and the Neckar.

Access to the interior of the castle restaurant is free. However, an entrance fee may be charged to visit the garden restaurant. This is always the case when the falconry housed in the castle is giving a flight demonstration. These take place regularly at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

A magnificent palace with turrets, terraces, and a sweeping staircase, surrounded by Favorite Park. The palace's rich yellow and red tones make it even more impressive. Favorite Palace was built by Duke Eberhard Ludwig as a Baroque pleasure and hunting palace in the middle of a game reserve. Under Frederick I, the first King of Württemberg, it received the elegant Neoclassical furnishings that still exist today.

The easiest way to get to the castle ruins is by bike. It then goes steeply down to Althoheneck (church) on the Neckar level.

The pleasure palace is from Closed November 16th - March 14th. Otherwise it can only be visited as part of group and special tours.

Good bike path up to the castle. Route through the vineyards, little to no traffic. Steep approach, which is worthwhile. Once at the top, there is a great view. By the way, you can watch great sunsets from there!
