Favorite Palace
Schloss Favorite
The Margravine's Baroque summer palace, with a crushed-stone plaster exterior and a rich collection of Chinese porcelain.
Favorite Palace was built between 1710 and 1730. It is the best-preserved early Baroque "porcelain palace" in Germany. The interior retains its original mirror hall, mosaic hall, and collections of Chinoiserie, Meissen, and Chinese export porcelain, and it is surrounded by an English landscape garden. Visits to the interior are by guided tour only and take about an hour. Admission is about 9 euros. The palace lies on the south outskirts of Rastatt, about 10 km from Baden-Baden, and can be combined with Rastatt Palace on the same day.
