Schloss
Favorite
is
a
Baroque
maison
de
plaisance
and
hunting
lodge
in
Ludwigsburg,
Germany
and
was
used
as
summer
residence.
It
is
located
on
a
rise,
directly
north
of
Ludwigsburg
Palace
and
connected
via
an
avenue
to
it.
It
was
built
from
1717
to
1723
for
the
sovereign
Duke
of
Württemberg,
Eberhard
Ludwig,
to
a
design
by
Donato
Giuseppe
Frisoni.
The
model
was
the
Gartenpalais
in
Vienna.
From
1806,
King
Frederick
I
of
Württemberg
converted
the
park
into
a
ménagerie,
including
deer
and
chamois.
The
architect
Nikolaus
Friedrich
von
Thouret
renovated
the
building's
interior
in
the
neoclassical
style.
In
the
20th
century,
the
house
was
neglected
and
fell
into
disrepair.
It
was
restored
from
1980
onward,
and
it
opened
to
the
public
in
1983.
The
park
has
been
transformed
into
a
landscape
garden,
which
has
since
served
as
an
animal
park.
Today,
the
originally
furnished
castle
rooms
give
an
insight
into
courtly
life.
