Stuttgart entdecken

The New Palace is an 18th-century Baroque palace on Stuttgart's Schlossplatz, built from 1746 for Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg by architects including Leopoldo Retti and Philippe de La Guêpière. Gutted by bombing in the Second World War, it was rebuilt with a modernised interior and now houses government ministries, so public tours are only by special arrangement.

Solitude Palace is a Rococo hunting lodge built from 1764 to 1769 for Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg, designed by Philippe de La Guêpière and Johann Friedrich Weyhing. It stands on a ridge west of Stuttgart between Leonberg and Gerlingen, its curved white facade and domed central hall overlooking formal approach avenues.
