Schloss Rosenstein
Schloss Rosenstein stands in Stuttgart as a classical palace designed by court architect Giovanni Salucci. King Wilhelm I of Württemberg commissioned it as a summer residence, completed between 1822 and 1830. Today, its rooms hold the living-organisms section of the State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart, where exhibitions explore evolution and biodiversity.
Displays lead from native habitats and Earth’s ecosystems to marine mammals and environmental protection. A pollack whale stretches through the marine mammals section. The palace combines architectural history with accessible museum spaces focused on living forms, habitats, and conservation.
Beneath the building runs Württemberg’s first railway tunnel, constructed between 1844 and 1846. The passage measures 326 metres and remained in use until a replacement opened in 1915. A rose garden southeast of the palace gave Rosenstein its present name after the hill was known as Kahlenstein, or Bald Rock.
