This striking half-timbered house in Bönnigheim is the "Ratsstüble" (Rat's Inn) on the market square. It was built on the cellar vault of a previous building, dating back to at least 1458. It has a relatively small footprint and a height of 17 meters. The building has likely housed a restaurant since its construction. It is documented that it was owned by a master baker in 1685 and a master butcher in 1839. During the First World War, bakeries, butchers, and confectioneries were located here. Since 1945, it has been called the "Ratsstüble" – probably due to its proximity to the former town hall (which burned down in 1945). This is where the council members of the time met. In the 1970s, the inn was considered a trendy pub thanks to the students of the Hohenstein Institute and Schiller College. Today, you will find an inn here serving traditional Swabian cuisine.

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.

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.

The picture could be of me. That's how I saw it on my tour when I came by...😃

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.

Imposing representative building - unfortunately not accessible at the moment, has also been cleared
