Rosenstein Castle
View from the castle gardens
Rosenstein Castle in the Bad Cannstatt district of Stuttgart, Germany was built between 1822 and 1830 by the court builder Giovanni Salucci (1769–1845) in the classical style for King Wilhelm I.
The palace stands in Rosenstein Park on a height overlooking the Neckar river valley. Formerly called the Kahlenstein (literally 'bald rock', because it was bare of trees), the hill was renamed Rosenstein ('rose rock'), and a rose garden was planted to the south-east of the palace.
Today, Schloss Rosenstein houses that part of State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (SMNS) dealing with extant lifeforms.
