The best waterfall hikes and walks in Großer Wald

The Duke's castle is mentioned alongside the New Pleasure House in Stuttgart and the Collegium Illustre in Tübingen as an architectural masterpiece of the Renaissance era. All three buildings had the same master builder: the court architect Georg Beer (1527–1600). The Duke used his castle as a suitable residence during hunts and as accommodation for spa trips to Liebenzell. About 100 years after its construction, it, like the adjacent monastery, was burned down by French troops during the War of the Palatinate Succession. Of the once magnificent furnishings, only sparse remains such as architectural fragments and parts of a large fireplace have survived. The less destroyed west wing of the castle was converted into a grain store in 1740.

Architecturally outstanding building made of natural building materials.

Some "strange tipsters" are really not entirely honest❗️ "Beautiful little house" with history 👍

From 1586 to 1592, the Dukes of Württemberg had a three-winged Renaissance-style palace built on the site of the abbot's house, south of the cloister. During a siege by French troops under General Mélac during the War of the Palatinate Succession, the palace and monastery went up in flames on September 19/July/September 29, 1692. Initially, only the roofs were missing, but by 1808, the complex had increasingly lost masonry, which was used, among other things, for the reconstruction of Calw. Source: Wikipedia
