In 1704, Ludwigsburg was chosen as the location for a royal summer residence, but under the rule of Duke Eberhard Ludwig this plan quickly expanded and a whole city resulted. It became the city of palaces. The magnificent highlight of Ludwigsburg is the residential palace and not any less attractive are the neighbouring hunting lodge and summer residence called Favorite and the Monrepos lakeside palace.
The garden show blooming baroque and the fairy-tale garden.
The exceptionally beautiful gardens around the residential palace alone make the trip to Ludwigsburg worthwhile. Garden art from various eras and regions is presented for the pleasure of the visitors. An excellent example of the rich variety can be found in the northern part of the garden. Here you find the Broderieparterre an aviaries which house native and exotic birds from all over the world. Or else the southern garden with the colorful flower and gravel ornamentation surrounded by mighty chestnut tress.
