Hello everyone,

would anyone like to spend an afternoon exploring the palace and the Pumpkin Festival in the baroque city of Ludwigsburg?

Ludwigsburg Residential Palace (Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg) is one of the largest Baroque buildings in Europe to survive in its original condition. It offers visitors a striking tour through the centuries – from Baroque to Rococo to Neoclassical. It is an impressive palace complex with 18 building sections and more than 450 rooms.

If you are interested, we can visit the Ludwigsburg Palace Gardens afterwards. The Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival is taking place there August 23 until November 03, 2024. We can eat and drink at one of the snack stands.

Description:

Palace: A walk through the palace’s grand rooms is time travel in style: The magnificent interiors offer a glimpse of life in the Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical eras. In these authentic period surroundings, imbued with a subtle sense of faded glory, you can relive the days when Ludwigsburg was a regal residence and the center of the duchy of Württemberg. Flooded with light, the Marble Hall encapsulates the splendour of the royal court of Württemberg. The Hall of Mirrors offers interesting views for young and old alike.

Pumpkin Festival: When it comes to pumpkins, Ludwigsburg rules! From August to December, the grounds of the Palace host the world's largest pumpkin exhibition, part of Baroque in Bloom Palace Gardens (Blühendes Barock), a vast horticultural show with a different theme each year. Think 450,000 pumpkins and 600 varieties. There are aromatic edible pumpkins and ornamental pumpkins, elaborately-carved pumpkin sculptures and delicious pumpkin-based dishes, such as soup, waffles and local favorite Maultaschen, a dish like ravioli.
