Facts and practical information

The Emichsburg is a structure in the eastern garden of the Blühender Barock in Ludwigsburg.

Emichsburg Castle was built between 1798 and 1802 according to plans by Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret in the east garden of Ludwigsburg Palace, today's Blossoming Baroque, in the medieval style over a former quarry. It is considered the main work in the English garden area and was built according to the ideas of Duke Frederick II of Württemberg during the redesign of this garden area. It is named after Emicho, the brother of Count Ludwig I who was mentioned in documents in the 12th century. Today, Emichsburg Castle is used as the Rapunzel Tower in the fairytale garden of the palace park.
