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.

Castle ruins with a great view

Originally a Celtic refuge, then the Romans arrived, and in the 12th century, a castle was built. It came into the possession of the Electorate of the Palatinate around 1300 and was then intended as a refuge for the ruler and his entourage from Heidelberg in case of emergency. The people of Dilsberger were granted town-like rights and, in return, were obliged to provide accommodations in case of emergency. With the dissolution of the Electorate of the Palatinate in 1803, the castle came into the possession of the state of Baden. In 1822, the castle was approved for demolition. Detailed information can be found here: https://www.dilsberg.de/gemeinde/geschichte-dilsberg/ The remains of the castle can be visited during the summer months for a small fee.

The restaurant has apparently been closed since October 2022 after the tenant retired and there is no successor. There is only a sign on the gate saying 'Company Holidays'. - A visit is not possible as it is privately owned. The only thing left is the view of the castle from the vineyards, you don't have to drive directly there at the moment.

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.

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.
