Rosenstein Palace

Stuttgart, Germany

Rosenstein Palace was built between 1822 and 1830 by the court builder Giovanni Salucci (1769–1845) in the classical style for King Wilhelm I. The palace stands in Rosenstein Park on a height overlooking the Neckar river valley. Formerly called the Kahlenstein (literally 'bald rock', because it was bare of trees), the hill was renamed Rosenstein ('rose rock'), and a rose garden was planted to the south-east of the palace.

Today, Schloss Rosenstein houses that part of State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart dealing with extant lifeforms.

To reach here by car is only possible by walking. You can use the park place of Zoo Wilhelma then 15 minutes mid-range upright walking. Great museum especially for kids. There are two different museum here. Naturkunde and Museum am Löwentor. You can get a combined ticket by paying 1€ additionally. Distance between the museums is 20 minutes by walking. You can also enjoy very nice garden outside.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
