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.

2016年11月12日、シュヴェッツィンゲン市の1250周年を記念して、「シュヴェッツィンゲンの幸運の豚」という彫刻が、城広場の南半分、城と城庭園の入り口のすぐそばに設置されました。そこには、選帝侯カール・テオドールと彼の愛人が、ゆったりとした服装で立派な豚に乗っている様子が描かれています。 この芸術的な表現は、ボドマン出身の彫刻家、ペーター・レンクによって創造されました。

Mosque in the mirror

The spacious square with the numerous restaurants invites you to linger.

The Schwetzingen Palace Square is very beautiful. There is always something going on here, due to the castle and the beautiful pubs, beer gardens and cafés around. It's also great that the cars also have to drive at a walking pace.

With a view of the back of the castle garden, you can already guess how beautiful it must be in the castle park. This is worthwhile at any time of the year, but spring is the best time when the magnolias are in bloom.
