Weikersheim, Germany, Germany

---

Weikersheim Palace and Garden is one of the finest Renaissance and Baroque palace complexes in Germany, located in the town of Weikersheim in Baden-Württemberg.

Originally a medieval moated castle and seat of the House of Hohenlohe, it was transformed into an elegant Renaissance residence around 1600 and later enhanced with magnificent Baroque features. The palace is renowned for its richly decorated Knights’ Hall, historic state rooms, and remarkably well-preserved interiors.

Its stunning Baroque garden features ornamental flower beds, fountains, statues, an orangery, and the famous “Weikersheim dwarfs,” a unique series of sculptures inspired by members of the court. Today, the palace and gardens are open to visitors as a museum and cultural attraction. Set in the scenic Tauber Valley, they offer an outstanding glimpse into aristocratic life and are widely considered among the most beautiful historic palace grounds in the Hohenlohe region.
