Built between 1704 and 1733 by Duke Eberhard Ludwig, its 452 rooms in 18 buildings make this one of the largest baroque palaces in existence in Germany. Known as the "Swabian Versailles" and surrounded by baroque gardens, the palace was formerly the ancestral home of the kings and dukes of Württemberg. Today state receptions are still held here, along with cultural events.Tübingen
