Schloss Solitude, or Castle Solitude, is a hunting retreat that was constructed in the 1760s under the commission of the Duke of Wurttemberg, Charles Eugene. From the castle, you’ll be able to see amazing views of the surrounding town as well as the towns of Ludwigsburg, Korntal, and Weilimdorf. Over the years, the castle has been used as a private residence, a school and orphanage, and a university to study arts alongside military practices before it as abandoned and fell into disrepair. The Federal Republic of Germany renovated the castle and the frescoes in the 1980s and later made it an autonomous dorm for artists and professionals. Together, they organized concerts and several other events. Today, visitors will be able to explore the castle on a guided tour and see where so much of the area’s rich history took place. You’ll also find the Graevenitz Museum on site, where you will see the works of renowned Stuttgart sculptor Fritz von Graevenitz.
