One of Württemberg's late medieval palaces
Urach Residential Palace

Worth a closer lookHidden treasures

The palace in Bad Urach is the only surviving late medieval residential palace in Württemberg. It is a place where some of the most important counts and dukes operated. Urach is worth a second and third look, in search of hidden treasures.
