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)

Good weather atmosphere will be arranged.
