Ludwigsruhe

Ludwigsruhe is a baroque estate with farm buildings in Langenburg, built on former hunting grounds. The complex consists of a main residence connected to service courtyards, reflecting the typical layout of a regional noble property.

The original property was called Lindenbronn until Prince Louis of Hohenlohe-Langenburg transformed it into a summer residence in the mid-18th century and renamed it. The architecture was shaped by examples from the nearby Ludwigsburg palace and reflected contemporary princely building styles.

The name references Prince Louis and his connection to the place as a summer retreat. Visitors can today see the formal gardens that show how the noble family spent leisure time in nature.

The property is available today for private events and celebrations with various spaces depending on group size. Visitors should check beforehand whether a tour is possible, as access is mainly private or by request.

The facades show inspiration from Ludwigsburg Palace, though executed on a more modest scale reflecting regional prosperity in the 18th century. This blend of princely models and rural farming reality makes the site interesting.
