The Grabkapelle auf dem Württemberg is a neoclassical mausoleum built by King Wilhelm I of Württemberg as a monument to eternal love. Perched atop Württemberg Hill in Stuttgart-Rotenberg, the chapel was constructed between 1820 and 1824 in memory of Queen Katharina, who died unexpectedly at age 30. Designed by court architect Giovanni Salucci, the building replaced the ruins of the ancestral Wirtemberg Castle and now stands as one of Stuttgart’s most romantic landmarks. Its harmonious rotunda, Corinthian columns, and serene interior reflect the ideals of the Romantic era. The chapel also houses the tombs of Wilhelm I and their daughter Marie Friederike Charlotte. Surrounded by vineyards and offering panoramic views of the Neckar Valley, the site is popular for weddings, cultural events, and quiet reflection. Locals affectionately call it the “Swabian Taj Mahal,” and it remains a symbol of devotion, architectural beauty, and regional heritage.
