Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg (Ludwigsburg Residential Palace) Hallway

This image was taken inside a hallway in the Ludwigsburg Residential Palace. You can either drive or take public transportation to get here. The only way to gain entrance into the palace is by a pre-scheduled guided tour, which you can make by reaching out to the palace (information below). The GPS coordinates provided is to the palace; the guided tour will allow you access inside and you will come across this hallway. When scheduling the tour, you can book the Baroque Experience or the Residential Palace Tour. I recommend requesting a chamber maid, or Kammerzofe. Ask for Christine, she‘s gorgeous and she‘s the one in my photo!

All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Residenzschloss. If you want to enjoy the gardens, come in the summer.

Visit during the day when the guided tours take place (between 10am and 5pm) to capture the daylight from the castle's windows.

When you book the tour, I suggest requesting a chamber maid as your guide. They will have on palatial attire and will add to the authenticity of your photo.

Flash photography is prohibited here, so make sure to bring a light-sensitive camera and have steady hands while you shoot your image.

Use a slight wide-angle lens (18mm) to capture the full width of the hallway.

Don‘t be misguided by non-proportional rooms. The chandeliers might not be hanging in the center of the ceilings, the walls are not always even and of equal length, but that‘s part of the castle‘s charm.

With the entrance fee to get into the palace, you'll be able to take a walk in the gardens. Take your time to sit down, check your map and try to find the next castle. There are many of them around the area!

Apart from the Residenzschloss, there's not much to do in Ludwigsburg. Have a quick snack in the mall next to the castle if you're hungry.
