1. Grabkapelle Württemberg

   • Stuttgart, Germany
   • Sights › Other

   When King Wilhelm I of Württemberg's beloved wife Katharina Pavlovna, daughter of a Russian tsar, died at the tender age of 30 in 1819, the king tore down the family castle and built this domed burial chapel. The king was also interred in the classical-style Russian Orthodox chapel decades later. Scenically perched on a vine-strewn hill, the grounds afford long views down to the valley.

   Altes Schloss

   • Stuttgart, Germany
   • Sights › Other

   Here an archway leads to the turreted 10th-century Altes Schloss, where the Landesmuseum Württemberg homes in on regional archaeology and architecture. The historic booty comprises Celtic jewellery, Neolithic pottery, diamond-encrusted crown jewels and rare artefacts like 35,000-year-old figurines carved from mammoth ivory. Time your visit to see, from the arcaded courtyard, the rams above the clock tower lock horns on the hour.
