En route to Marbach, we stopped off at Ludwigsburg thinking we'd have a quick peep at the ducal palace and gardens.
WELL, we were surprised to find it's a blinking ENORMOUS complex which probably deserves a full day at least! There are TWO palaces stuffed with art and antiquities plus acres of gardens, not to mention the town itself which has two churches on the main square nearby. You can learn more about the town at ludwigsburg.de
Ludwigsburg is on routes 4 and 5 of the S-Bahn, bound from the Hbf for Bietigheim and Marbach respectively. It's a rather meandering 15 minute walk to the main plaza and you have to go with your instincts in places when the signposts disappear.
We'll do it properly on our next trip, more tips and pics soon! Leave a Comment

Ludwigsburg Palace in Ludwigsburg is one of Europe's largest baroque residences and is found in Ludwigsburg just north of Stuttgart. The Palace was built by Duke Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg and he originally intended to only restore a hunting lodge that burnt down but by the time he died the buildings had become the most grandiose of all German palaces and a new town had developed. Ludwigsburg Palace contains a portrait gallery of the rulers of Württemberg and also their burial vault, a state art gallery and archives, the castle and regional museums, and a theatre. Concerts and an annual garden show are held in the castle and park. There are also two other castles, Favorite (1718) and Monrepos (1760) built within the Palace grounds.
I was there very early in the morning and it was freezing. A lot of the old part of the Palace is not heated! Thank god for hot air hand dryers in the bathrooms, I spent a lot of my time there thawing out.
