Palace and court
History of the building, historical furnishings and palace inhabitants
On the way to the palace tower, visitors can get to know the palace and its former inhabitants. The history of the building as well as its historical furnishings are presented en route to the tower. A large model illustrates the layout of Karlsruhe as a planned baroque city.
Portraits, busts and medals enable visitors to trace the dynasty of the rulers of Baden. Their lives are depicted by furniture, china and glasses. The crown of the Grand Duke of Baden together with sceptre and sword, the throne ensemble and magnificent toiletries give an impression of the residence’s splendour.
