Schloss Rastatt

Rastatt, Germany, Germany

Schloss Rastatt, also known as Residenzschloss Rastatt, is a Baroque palace in Rastatt, Germany, and the oldest Baroque residence in the Upper Rhine area.

Built between 1700 and 1707 by Italian architect Domenico Egidio Rossi for Margrave Louis William of Baden-Baden (known as „Türkenlouis") and Margravine Sibylla Augusta, it was designed as a model of the French Palace of Versailles. The palace features a magnificent restored Baroque interior with ornate ceiling paintings and stuccowork by Italian artists, plus beautifully maintained Baroque gardens that visitors can tour.

Remarkably, it survived World War II undamaged, making it one of the few residential palaces in Germany to do so. Today, owned by the State of Baden-Württemberg, it houses two museums: the Military History Museum (Wehrgeschichtliches Museum) and the Memorial Site for Freedom Movements in German History, while its splendid state apartments are open to the public as a palace museum.
