A Baroque gem

The royal family’s vast estate includes more than Ludwigsburg Palace. Much, much smaller is Favorite Palace (Schloss Favorite). Standing on a nearby hill, this delightful ochre and yellow mini-palace has turrets and balustrades, staircases sweeping up to the main entrance and a broad terrace dotted with classic Greek urns. Recent renovations have restored the elaborately-decorated interior. Look out through the tall French windows; the views over the park are as lovely now as they were centuries ago. Not surprisingly, this is a popular venue for upscale weddings!

Insider tips

  • Exploration tip: Continue strolling through the park to the lakeside Monrepos, also built as a hunting lodge.
  • Visits: Take a guided tour of the elegant rooms, with their painted ceilings and squeaky parquet wooden floors.
