Ludwigsbau (Schloss)

Schloss, Heidelberg, Germany

 

On the east side of the castle, between Ottheinrichsbau and the Economics buildings on the south, lies this austere building with three storeys. Built in 1524 under Ludwig V. (1508-1544) it was originally twice the size. The octagonal tower with the gateway once stood in the middle and divided the building into two wings. Only 30 years after erection, the northern wing was torn down to make place for the ostentatious Ottheinrich Palace. A well-preserved plaque above the gateway depicts the Palatine lion with the Bavarian lozenges together with the illustration of two monkeys at play with a then popular trial of strength. The Ludwigbau's underground vault that connects to the Ottheinrich Palace today houses the Apothecaries' Museum. Admission Courtyard: (2 EUR) per person; (1 EUR) concession; Heidelberg-Card holders free.
