Castle Solitude, Rococo hunting palace in Stuttgart-West, Germany
The white-colored Castle Solitude stands at 496 meters elevation in the forest west of Stuttgart, featuring a central oval hall and two symmetrical wings.
Duke Carl Eugen commissioned the palace construction between 1764 and 1769, selecting architects Johann Friedrich Weyhing and Philippe de La Guêpière for the project.
The White Hall contains intricate stucco marble walls and a ceiling fresco painted by Nicolas Guibal in 1768, depicting allegorical figures of Carl Eugen's reign.
The palace opens daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with regular guided tours available without advance booking through the main entrance hall.
A straight 13-kilometer road connects Castle Solitude directly to Ludwigsburg Palace, marking a physical link between these two royal residences.
