Schloß Solitude

Another short drive from our home is Schloss Solitude. The Solitude Palace was built in late Baroque style by Duke Carl Eugen between 1763 and 1767 and was completely renovated between 1972-83.
The Schloss’ grounds offer the visitor a restful place to come and enjoy the large grassy area that is located between the Palace and a panoramic view of the Stuttgart area. While we were there, we saw folks enjoying a warm summer day, picnicing, reading, etc. Visitors such as my husband and I, simply enjoy the architecture, the grounds, and the beautiful view!
Also on the grounds are the Officers’ and the Cavaliers’ buildings which has “housed” the 'Akademie Schloss Solitude' since 1990. This “Akademie” serves to encourage young and talented artists.
