Solitude Palace is a Rococo hunting and pleasure palace set on a ridge west of Stuttgart, built in the 1760s for Duke Charles Eugene of Württemberg. Its central pavilion, capped by an oval dome and raised on an arcaded base, commands sweeping views across the surrounding countryside. Once the extravagant retreat of a court known for its lavish festivities, it was linked to the residence at Ludwigsburg by a long dead-straight avenue laid out as a visual axis. The restored state rooms display gilded stucco and painted ceilings.
