Seeschloss Monrepos

Ludwigsburg, Germany

Monrepos is a lakeside palace in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Although quite far from and almost separate from Favorite Palace and Ludwigsburg Palace, by way of pedestrian paths it is connected to the rest of the grounds. It is one of the two minor palaces on the estate, along with the main one. The smaller ones were used as Hunting lodges. Of all three, this is the only one that is still owned by the royal family of Württemberg after their overthrow in 1918. Much of the land surrounding Monrepos and on the Royal part of the estate in general is now used as a golf course, unlike the State owned part, which is made up of parks and museums.

Since the 16th century, the dukes of Württemberg enjoyed hunting along the Eglosheimer Lake. In 1714, Duke Eberhard Ludwig had an octagonal pavilion, the 'Little Lake House', constructed on the northern shore.

Peaceful & Beautiful place ♥️

Excellent place to spend a relaxed Sunday ☀️! There’s good arrangement for parking. We mainly went there for paddle boating, but you can go for a walk, enjoy some coffee, or even have a picnic (if the weather permits). It’s really secluded from the city congestion, but also not very far away.

A good place for having a casual walk or a picnic. But the walking path wasn't the best. There were a lot of water puddles. There's a risk of slipping at some spots. Maybe it gets better when the sun is shining. They also offer boating in the lake at a fee. There's a direct bus from Ludwigsburg ZOB to this place which makes it accessible also by public transport. A car parking space is also available.

I've been here before. Stayed at the hotel. This time we walked through Favorite Park upto Mon Repos.. The lake was busy, lots of kids. What was missing were public toilets. Overall a good experience..

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.
