Residenzschloss Rastatt
The 'Residenzschloss Rastatt' was built by Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm and Margravine Sibylla Augusta of Baden-Baden according to the French example of Versailles. Italian artists provided the rooms with magnificent ceiling paintings and ornate stuccowork.

The Baroque palace is one of the few residential palaces which have survived World War II undamaged. Its splendid main floor with the state apartments of the Margrave and Margravine is open for visitors as a palace museum. Numerous special guided tours and activities make a visit to the palace a real experience!
In addition, the Military History Museum (Wehrgeschichtliches Museum) and the commemorative site for the freedom movements in German history are also located in the Baroque residential palace.
