Tours – Diversity as a hallmark

The palaces and monasteries are steeped in history: you find this out at any of the many tours on offer by the Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten. The tours with the contemporary historical witnesses are an endearing specialty: medieval monks or 18th century ladies-in-waiting take the visitors on a trip back in time – amusing, entertaining, knowledgeable and as exciting as a historical theatrical play. There is also a wide range of exciting offers available for children and young people.

     

Every year a new inspiring theme

Old walls time and time anew: each year, the Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten present their monuments under a different theme. For unusual tours and attractive events, the focus is always on different aspects. 2017 is the great anniversary of the Reformation, which began exactly 500 years ago: the venues of this great history suddenly become visible! In 2018, everything will be about Eating and Drinking in castles, palaces and monasteries through the centuries – this will turn the visit into an enjoyable experience the whole year through.

 

Venues with character

There are no more beautiful settings to be found: the monasteries, palaces and castles are famous for their festivals and markets. A traditional Christmas market in the fairy-tale atmosphere of a monastery cloister, an open-air summer event in front of the festive façade of a baroque palace – the atmosphere is always compelling. The palaces and monasteries of Baden-Württemberg are home to internationally prestigious festivals – sometimes with a tradition dating back many centuries.

  

Palace gastronomy

Ranging from the rustical castle tavern to the fine Michelin-star palace restaurant: in the palaces and monasteries, hospitality has been lovingly maintained as a matter of course for centuries. Many of the locations have regional specialties on the menu. The services are rich in variety - and everywhere the delights on your plate are combined with the beauty of the historical ambience.

 

Conferences and festivities in a royal ambience

Magnificent celebrations, rustical medieval feasts and important conferences are a tradition here. Many rooms can also be booked for private functions – say, for a special family celebration or a congress. The 60 palaces, monasteries, gardens and castles of Baden-Württemberg form a unique showcase for events that will leave a fond, lasting impression.
