SOLITUDE DAY

This year, the Akademie Schloss Solitude, together with all institutions around the castle, invites you to the Solitude-Tag (Solitude Day). On Sunday, July 8 2012, visitors expect guided tours through the castle, the Akademie, the Graevenitz Museum, and the Schlosskapelle (castle chapel) as well as readings, concerts, and much more ...

All visitors are welcome to take part in Stuttgart’s most beautiful picnic event by bringing a picnic basket, a blanket and some food. The most original arrangement wins a weekend at Solitude! (the jury’s round tour starts at 1.30 pm)
