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.

Two palaces weren't enough for Ludwigsburg: "Monrepos," French for "My Peace," was the fitting name for this small but exquisite lakeside palace. It is a true Rococo masterpiece, built under Duke Carl Eugen between 1758 and 1764.

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

From 03.12 - 17.03. the park is officially closed. Open to walk through from 9:00 a.m. until dusk. Toilet block with changing room closed.

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!

The castle has been known nationwide since 1987 through the television program Nachtcafé with Wieland Backes on Südwestrundfunk (SWR) Stuttgart. The talk show was recorded on Thursdays and broadcast on SWR on Friday evenings. When Michael Steinbrecher took over the moderation in January 2015, the recording took place in the SWR studio E-Werk in Baden-Baden.
