The New Palace reflects a lot of French influence. It was begun in 1746 by Leopoldo Retti, continued by Philippe de la Gu?pi?re from Paris and completed by Nikolaus von Thouret from 1805 to 1807. Only then it became a noble residence; rebuilt between 1958 and 1968.
Today, the central part of the building houses rooms for the representatives of the State Government while the side wings accommodate two ministries.
The Palace Square ("Schlossplatz") contains the Jubilee Column erected in 1841 to commemorate the silver jubilee of thereign of King Wilhelm I, two fountains dating from 1863 and a
castiron music pavilion.
In September 2004, the Palace Square
will be completed with the new Stuttgart
City Gallery. |

Great Stuttgart page! | Dabs Sat May 3, 2008 22:53 UTC
what's not to love about human foosball and a proper cheese to noodle ratio? ;-) Not to mention a wife that would not eat the Sacher Torte in the car on the way over... | LoriPori Thu Apr 24, 2008 13:32 UTC
You are indeed spoiled Mark - that sachertorte sounds simply divine. Lovely page on Stuttgart. | deecat Tue Mar 18, 2008 17:54 UTC
Now, how great is that to stay for free. You have superior restaurant and hotel tips. I agree that anything chocolate is for me. Looks and sounds like a great place. |
