Just a few kilometers west of Maulbronn Monastery lies the Elfinger Hof estate, one of the monastery's first granges. Together with the neighboring vineyard, it was among the monastery's most important economic holdings. Elfinger Hof encompassed 130 to 150 hectares, and as an estate, it was described as 190 hectares in 1870 by the Maulbronn district office (see Hachenberger 1990). The estate's layout is depicted on the Württemberg cadastral map of 1835. To the west of the estate and north of Elfinger Lake, there was another pond. The updated cadastral map of 1891 shows a garden and a path leading to the drained Elfinger Lake to the south of the estate.

Very nice.

Behind the green shutters, the "Stilbruch" bistro invites you to dine, and in summer, you can also enjoy the adjoining terrace directly above the Walzbach stream.

The Baroque palace, inhabited successively by four Prince-Bishops of Speyer and built as their residence from 1722 onwards, is well worth seeing and can be visited without a guided tour for a fee. The staircase, like that of the Würzburg Residence, was built by the famous architect Balthasar Neumann. Unfortunately, the palace, along with the entire city and the railway junction, was destroyed in a bombing raid on March 1, 1945. Except for many stucco ceilings, the palace was subsequently extensively restored, including the three ceiling frescoes in the staircase and the two large ballrooms. In addition to the palace gardens, the complex includes numerous other buildings. The tax office is housed in a large wing. The main building of the palace houses the very extensive German Music Automaton Museum and the smaller Bruchsal City Museum, spread over three floors.
