Ludwigsburg Palace was built in 1592 by order of Duke Ernst Ludwig for his wife Sophia Hedwig. It is one of the last surviving buildings of the Pomeranian dukes in Germany. Ludwigsburg is also an original site of North German Rormanticism, as the painter Friedrich August von Klinkowström, a companion of Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge, was born here in 1778. With its farm buildings, the complex documents an agricultural business of the 19th/20th century. The ensemble is rounded off by the small but beautiful castle chapel and a magnificent castle park.
