Ludwigsburg Palace, in German Residenzschloss, is a 452-room palace complex of 18 buildings in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It has been compared to Versailles, and is the country's largest palatial estate. Its northern wing, Alter Hauptbau, is the oldest part and was used as a ducal residence of Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg, who had appointed Philipp Joseph Jenisch to direct the work, begun in 1704. Three years later, Johann Friedrich Nette completed most of the palace and surrounding gardens. Charles Eugene's court architect, Philippe de La Guêpière, completed and refurbished parts in the Rococo style, especially the palace theatre. Duke Frederick II employed Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret to renovate the palace in the Neoclassical style. In 1919, the constitution of the Free People's State of Württemberg was ratified at the palace, which was then opened to the public. It underwent periods of restoration, last for its tricentenary in 2004. It has hosted the Ludwigsburg Festival annually since 1947. The palace is surrounded by gardens named Blooming Baroque (Blühendes Barock), laid out in 1954 as they might have appeared in 1800.
