Castles & Gardens

Built for eternity

SouthWest Germany’s famous castles and palaces, such as Heidelberg, Ludwigsburg and Hohenzollern, have always been–and still are–a magnet for visitors every year. But small is also beautiful, and proof of the maxim is at Schwetzingen and Meersburg, as well as in the fine chateaux and manor houses throughout the region. Many often stage cultural events and festivals.
