Eremitage, Baroque hunting palace in Waghäusel, Germany.

The central hexadecagonal building features four cross-shaped wings and three cavalier houses arranged around a circular courtyard enclosed by walls.

Construction of the palace began in 1724 under Damian Hugo Philipp von Schönborn, with architect Michael Ludwig Rohrer completing the project in 1729.

The palace design draws inspiration from Schloss Marly-le-Roi, incorporating eight hermit pavilions and structured connections to other princely estates.

Located at coordinates 49.2525, 8.50857, the palace is accessible via regional trains and buses stopping at Waghäusel station.

The grounds transformed from a noble estate to an industrial complex when a sugar factory operated there from 1837 to 1995.
