    One of the most fascinating buildings is the Schwetzingen palace garden! It truly was a surprise for me to visit this stunning mosque, it was so good that I kept mumbling the word "stunning" for myself the entire time I was there! I did enjoy the beauty of symmetry everywhere I looked, on top of that the decorations and design were so detailed and colorful. It's hard to believe it was never intended to be a functional house of worship, but rather a building to express tolerance towards all religions and cultures in the world. The inner courtyard is surrounded by covered walking passages with paintings on the ceilings and pots of flowers on the sides. The mosque itself is also accessible, even though it is not large or spacious inside, it does compensate with the oriental beauty and detailed artwork! Indeed, it is a very picturesque complex where I ended up strolling for more than an hour! The mosque can be accessed only via one entrance located in the center of the park, unfortunately no access possible from the side of the pond and the Temple of Mercury. No toilets available either. Tips: Nice panoramic views of the mosque and its pond can be experienced from The Temple of Mercury.

    It is a gorgeous masterpiece to visit built in 1779. The location is not far away from Heidelberg centre. It takes just 20 min. by car. The entrance fee is 5 euro per person.

    The mosque reflecting in the small pond in front is one of the nicest views in Schwetzingen gardens. You can go inside even though it is still mandatory to wear a face mask. Especially on a sunny day the light shining into the mosque give it a special look. Behind the mosque is a walkway with painted arches.

    The mosque is beautiful, but if you just want to see the mosque don't get the ticket for the museum, you don't need that to enter the mosque because the mosque is on the left side of the garden. Btw they put music in the mosque. Even do it's not praying. It's disrespectful to put music in it. Those two things don't go with each other. They are in fact the opposite.

    Very beautiful entranceways, full of symmetry no matter where you turn, and equally beautiful mosque exterior. There isn't too much happening inside though.

👍👍 I think it's a funny idea 👍😊 The castle park writes the following: "At the end of the corridor there is a trompe l'oeil painting - from French: a painted illusion of the eye. It suggests a view of an idyllic river landscape. ... This illusion is achieved through a sophisticated construction. A pav...

👍 The Rococo Theater is well worth seeing even when there is no performance. Tours of the theater are occasionally offered, which you should of course take advantage of by running in the castle park. The theater is still used today. Unfortunately, also for “modern” productions like the Nebuchadnezzar...

👍👍 The super-inspired work is an attraction for all tourists who come to Schwetzingen. First to take a picture with the asparagus seller and then to admire it from the nearby terrace where you can quietly enjoy a beer looking at passers-by.
