Emichsburg (Ludwigsburg)
The Emichsburg is a building in the east garden of the Blooming Baroque in Ludwigsburg .
The Emichsburg was built between 1798 and 1802 according to plans by Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret in the east garden of Ludwigsburg Palace , today's Blooming Baroque, in a medieval style over a former quarry. It is considered the main work in the English garden area and was built according to the ideas of Duke Friedrich II of Württemberg when this garden area was redesigned. It is named after Emicho , the brother of Count Ludwig I , who was mentioned in a document in the 12th century. Today the Emichsburg is used as a Rapunzel tower in the fairytale garden of the castle park.
