The main entrance of Schwetzingen Palace is an impressive sight! The palace itself is a beautiful example of baroque architecture and the main entrance leads you directly into the magnificent palace gardens.

Nice view of the castle

The bronze sculpture of the asparagus woman is reminiscent of the history of "royal pleasure" in Schwetzingen and the tradition of the asparagus market on the palace square. Asparagus was already being grown in the gardens of Elector Carl Theodor in the 17th century and still attracts gourmets to the "metropolis of asparagus" during the asparagus era.

The baroque palace in Mannheim, with its wide courtyard and a facade measuring 440 m in length, is the largest baroque palace in Germany. The complex was intended to illustrate the political position of the Electors of the Palatinate. The building is the second largest baroque palace complex in Europe after the Palace of Versailles. The palace is mainly used by the University of Mannheim. In addition to several libraries, the building also contains lecture halls, seminar rooms and offices for science, teaching and administration. The Mannheim District Court also occupies part of the west wing. Mannheim Palace is also open for tours. The Knights' Hall is the venue for the "Mannheim Palace Concerts" of the Electorate of the Palatinate Chamber Orchestra, among other things.

Nice atmosphere in summer with many options for a tour break. If you have the time, you should park your bike here and visit the castle and park - a facility that is really worth seeing.

Great view over the castle complex. Bikes are not allowed in the park, but it's worth it, as is a guided tour of the castle.

The Mannheim Palace is the second largest baroque ensemble in Europe after the Palace of Versailles and was designed by three French architects. It consists of the central three-wing complex, two side wings and other huge palace wings. The largest of these is the "Schneckenhofbau".
