Rastatt Palace

Residenzschloss Rastatt

The earliest Baroque palace in the Upper Rhine region, built by "Louis the Turk" in imitation of Versailles, about 12 km from the city center.

Rastatt Palace was commissioned in 1700 by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm. Its roof is topped by a prominent golden figure, and the Baroque halls inside can only be visited on a German-language guided tour, although English and Chinese brochures are available. The palace also houses the German Military History Museum and the Freedom Movement Memorial. Admission is about 9 euros, and the train from Baden-Baden takes about 10 minutes.
