Visited this castle for an evening classical concert and what a treat, both the concert and the tour through some of the rooms.
The pink/orange building was illuminated for the occasion as was the impressive gateway into the massive courtyard.
Built to recreate the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles, the plasterwork, frescoes, furniture, ceilings, chandeliers etc were no less than opulent and gave an insight on how the rich and powerful lived.
There is a lift for those who cannot manage the several flights of stairs and our experienced tour guide was very good.

Visited on May Day immediately after visiting Residenzschloss Rastatt and whilst both were guided tours in German with an English translation sheet this tour was taken out of sequence to the written description which made it difficult to follow. Despite there being no advisory notices we were very curtly told No Photos ! The rooms were poorly illuminated and the much vaunted porcelain collection was not impressive.

Arriving in Rastatt to tour the Baroque Residence (aka Castle Rastatt) we wandered the town on a Sunday morning and stumbled into this church. Pretty plain on the outside which did not prepare us for the Baroque opulence within. Just a wonderful little church in a sleepy (it was Sunday morning) Marktplatz in Germany.

Nicely located on one side of the former market place and opposite to the main church, it gives the second point of equilibrium of the city after the palace or the the Margrave

Nice complete and very interesting museum on XVIII wars and military equipement. Lot of pieces well explained (there are documents in French and English), It worth the visit. The building itself is quite impressive too. I loved it!

La ciudad de Rastatt tiene varios puntos de interés para el turista y uno de ellos es Pagodenburg, un lugar encantador ubicado en el centro de la ciudad, no muy lejos del Ayuntamiento y Rastatt Schloss y al mismo tiempo muy próximo al río.
Se puede decir que Pagodenburg es uno de los sitios con más encanto y más pintorescos de Rastatt, es en este lugar donde se encuentran dos edificios históricos, una Torre de Agua, (es su parte baja hay un café-restaurante con terracita al aire libre) y un pequeño Palacete y también una antigüa puerta. Todo está rodeado de un precioso y floreado jardín, que hace que el lugar sea ideal para pasear, descansar y/o hacer fotos. Tras bajar unas escaleras se llega al río, un lugar también perfecto para el relax. Está todo muy cuidado y limpio.
Es un lugar que merece y mucho la pena visitar.

Faisait partie de mon pèlerinage à Rastatt et Baden-Baden.
J'ai habité à Rastatt pendant 6 ou 7 ans dans les années 60 et j'ai fait les 400 coups en n'allant pas certaines fois à cette église. Mais je m'en rappelle bien.
Elle est jolie, pas très loin du centre, un peu "décalée"'.
