Weikersheim Palace, Renaissance palace in Weikersheim, Germany.
The palace features a Renaissance banquet hall with original furnishings and an extensive garden filled with stone statues and ornamental elements.
Built in the 12th century as a medieval castle, Count Wolfgang transformed the structure into a Renaissance palace between 1586 and 1605.
The palace houses an exhibition about alchemy in its former kitchen, highlighting Count Wolfgang II von Hohenlohe's scientific experiments and laboratory.
The double-winged orangery stretches nearly 100 meters in length and marks the transition between the formal garden and natural landscape.
The Knight's Hall contains speaking portraits that tell stories about the palace's history through audio installations.

Baden-Württemberg offers a wide range of destinations beyond the usual routes. The region includes medieval castle ruins such as Hohentwiel, Hohenbaden, and Yburg, medieval monasteries like Maulbronn and Alpirsbach, and palaces such as Lichtenstein and Weikersheim. Geological formations shape the landscape: the Blautopf displays a karst spring with distinctive water color, the Wutach Gorge cuts through limestone layers, and Wimsen Cave lies in the Danube Valley. Numerous waterfalls including Urach Falls and Menzenschwand Falls complement the natural offerings. The region combines historical and contemporary elements. The Wildline suspension bridge spans the Enz Valley, the Rottweil Test Tower serves as an elevator testing facility and viewing platform, and the historic Sauschwänzlebahn railway runs on a track featuring loops and tunnels. Parks such as Hohenheim Gardens and Rosenstein Park offer botanical collections. The market square in Freudenstadt displays typical Black Forest architecture, and the Neubulach Silver Mine provides insights into historic mining operations. These destinations allow detailed exploration of the region's nature, history, and engineering.
