Emichsburg, Medieval garden structure in Ludwigsburg, Germany
The Emichsburg consists of two connected towers with varying heights, positioned on a rocky elevation overlooking the Lower East Garden and Emichsee lake.
Duke Friedrich II commissioned architect Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret to design and construct this medieval-style building between 1798 and 1802 over an old quarry.
The building receives its name from Emicho, a documented 12th-century knight who maintained loyalty to the Hohenstaufen family in their royal settlement.
Visitors need to climb more than 150 steps to reach the tower summit, which provides extensive views across the Ludwigsburg Palace gardens.
The structure functions as Rapunzel's tower in the Fairy Tale Garden, featuring an animated display of the giant Rübezahl in its basement level.
