Blooming Baroque

The gardens surrounding the Residenzschloss are worth a visit on their own.

This area is huge! Palace and palace grounds. It took my friends and I a day to explore the area. I also get to see the inside of the Residential Palace. One thing I learned about myself is I like touring these pretty buildings and imagine myself living in one :) #architecture #ludwigsburg #germany

Ludwigsburg Residential Palace - the inner courtyard

Ludwigsburg Palace, known natively as Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg, and as the "Versailles of Swabia," is a 452-room Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, and Empire palace on a 32 hectares estate containing an unattached lustschloss located in Ludwigsburg, Germany. The Residential Palace is one of the largest in Germany, and the only one from the Baroque period to not endure any damage during the Second World War.

Construction on the main palace began in 1704 by order of Duke Eberhard Louis and lasted until 1733 under architects Philipp Joseph Jenisch, Johann Friedrich Nette, Donato Giuseppe Frisoni, Philippe de La Guêpière, and later Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret, who modified parts of the palace complex for King Frederick I of Württemberg.
