The castle is a beautiful example of barock architecture. Take tour time and walk the grounds and if you have the time.

We went to Schloss Solitude on a cold and rainy day. The tour was nice, but not as extensive as we all wanted. The grounds are beautiful for a nice day though. I great place to have a picnic with a BEAUTIFUL backdrop either looking at the castle or looking out over Stuttgart. It wasn't my favorite castle I've seen in Germany, but it is still very lovely!

Compared with other palaces around Stuttgart, this one is rather small but worth a half day visit on a sunny day. The palace visit is organized several times a day by German-speaking guides only. On a sunny day it is possible to enjoy the view to the surrounding towns from the top of the hill where the palace stands. Inside the palace there are several rooms with lavishly decorated walls and ceilings. The site is easily accessible by bus 92 from Schwabshtrasse.

Love wandering the woods around the Schloss, great trails and even better views. A great place to take family pictures, picnic or just hang out.

I've been there for my friend's wedding. Modest little chapel, excellent for the small weddings. Enjoy great view outside!

Schloss Solitude won't blow anyone's mind, but it's a nice destination for a stroll when in Stuttgart, especially when you're nearby anyway!The view and the surroundings are really nice too. Nothing mind blowing, but still very nice!

An easy get away. We didnt even go inside, just pulled up and had a picnic on the lawn with the view of downtown Stuttgart. Two bridal parties were their taking photos. Lovely. You have to pay to go inside, less than 10Euro. But the garden/lawn area is free!

The castle is not the big of the region but the view is great. It is very nice to grill in from of the garden (family, group of friends or even couples).

Hello. This is a wonderful, hidden gem outside Stuttgart. Not only is it historic but a wonderful setting in the forests. Very peaceful and beautiful. Be at one with the natural world just outside one of Germany's major cities. You can take walks along well-trodden paths, see nature, including spotting carved animals from the trees, and enjoy the castle and museum. A great half-day out with family, children and friends for all to enjoy.

A party of 3 adults 3 children, English and French speaking arrived to be told that entry was by tour only and in German only, so we declined as the children would have been v bored.Don't go if you can't speak the lingo. We whiled away half an hour having a splendid piece of cake in the little cafe and walking the paths in the rather overgrown, but picturesque all the same, grounds.

Ok, first off...it's a whipping to get out there...bus, to a train, to another bus (second bus only comes once an hour...don't miss it).Second...the whole place shuts down for lunch. So then you think, "ok, if they're eating lunch then I will too" (there's a litte cafe on the grounds). But, the attire is business only. The menu is only in German (no English subtitles)...I ended up with a shrimp salad; it was ok. So, it finally gets past the lunch hour and they open the palace up for tours. I went to buy my tour ticket and was informed (after she took my money) that the only tour today was in German. NO ENGLISH!!! So, the palace was pretty...couldn't tell you anything about the history of it though.I would not go back and would not recommend visiting here.

Castle Solitude in Stuttgart, Germany, was built as a hunting lodge between 1764 and 1769 under Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg. It is not a true castle, but rather a rococo palace. Since 1956 the area is part of the urban district of Stuttgart-West.Very well preserved rooms and interesting history. Gardens have been allowed to become forest but nice to walk through as well. Didn't have time to visit one of his other palaces at Ludwigsburg which appears to be more spectacular.

Set on a small hilltop, this Schloss lives up to its solitude! Walkers paradise, cyclists track point & its just blissful to have the view from the top of it.
