Frequently Asked Questions
At Plittersdorf, the oldest quarter of the town, set directly on the Rhine facing Alsace. A modern landing stage has welcomed large cruise vessels there since 2017.
Yes, about six kilometres. Organised excursions and shuttles cover the distance in some fifteen minutes across the fields of the Rhine plain. The centre is not walkable.
The residential palace and its French gardens, the market square and St Alexander church, then Favorite palace if the programme allows. Those staying near the river discover Plittersdorf and its old fishermen houses.
The first great baroque ensemble on the Upper Rhine: three monumental wings closing on a vast courtyard, a sand-coloured façade and a gilded figure at the summit. Louis William of Baden-Baden had it built from 1700 by the Italian architect Domenico Egidio Rossi.
Louis William of Baden-Baden, victor over the Ottoman armies, as Europe nicknamed him. He turned his hunting lodge into a state residence and celebrated his victories in the ancestral hall, under a ceiling painted to his glory.
The summer retreat Sibylla Augusta, the margrave widow, had built between 1710 and 1727, five kilometres from the centre. Behind its façade studded with glittering pebbles, cabinets lined with faience and porcelain earn it the nickname porcelain palace.
Yes, on a guided visit: the state enfilades unfold stucco, gilding and trompe-l oeil ceilings painted by Italian masters. The gardens are freely accessible.
Two major episodes. In 1714, the treaty signed here ended the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1849, the town became the last stronghold of the Baden revolution: a memorial in the palace retraces that struggle for German democratic liberties.
Yes. A ferry links the German bank to the French village of Seltz all year round, metres from the landing stage.
The euro on both banks. Cards work at the palaces and in town-centre shops, but keep cash for the ferry, the Plittersdorf cafés and the market.
