Schwetzingen Palace, Palace and museum in Schwetzingen, Germany.
The palace features two symmetrical wings forming a semicircle around a central courtyard, with extensive gardens spreading across 72 hectares.
The structure evolved from a medieval water castle in 1350 to become the summer residence of Electors Palatine Charles III Philip and Charles IV Theodore.
The palace theater in the north wing, constructed with European first galleries, continues to host performances during the annual Schwetzingen Festival.
Visitors can explore the electoral apartments, parlor rooms, and the Von Hochberg apartment through guided tours available throughout the year.
The palace gardens contain a mosque-style building from 1779, representing the earliest structure of its kind constructed in a German garden complex.
