Schloss Favorite (Rastatt)


Schloss Favorite is a schloss on the outskirts of Rastatt-Förch in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

History

Built by Johann Michael Ludwig Rohrer between 1710 and 1730, it was created as a hunting lodge and maison de plaisance for Margravine Sibylla Augusta, the widow of Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden. It was only used for several weeks per year as a summer residence, and it is not far from Schloss Rastatt.
Schloss Favorite houses a large collection of Chinese porcelain, black lacquerwork and Schwartz Porcelain. It is the oldest of the German so-called "porcelain palaces", and the only one to survive intact to this day.
