Show sight on map

From the point of view of architectural history, the New Lusthaus in Stuttgart, which has not been preserved, is considered one of the most important buildings of the German late Renaissance and served as a place of courtly festivals and celebrations. In 1954, the Stuttgart chronicler and monument conservator Gustav Wais described the original building as "one of the noblest creations of the German Renaissance, which, if we still possessed it today, would be Stuttgart's main attraction". Both the history of the building and the appearance are well known due to the numerous traditions.
