Near byROYAL GRANDEUR AROUND STUTTGART

It might be a hotbed of high-tech industry, but the Stuttgart region has retained many reminders of its glorious past. Over centuries, the dukes of Württemberg left their mark on the region, building splendid palaces and summer residences – but also a touching monument to eternal love, the Sepulchral Chapel for Queen Katharina. To this day, these are some of the most delightful spots around Stuttgart.
