The northern end of the garden is formed by the impressive ruins of the Roman water fort with three artificially ruined aqueducts. Built from tuff stone, the building is reminiscent of Roman medieval architecture.

Peter Nettesheim is a really talented sculptor from Cologne who is known for his life-sized wooden figures. His sculptures often show ordinary people in everyday situations, such as cyclists, joggers or people just talking on the phone. The cool thing about his figures is that they look so realistic, as if they could come to life at any moment.

One of his most famous sculptures is the "racing cyclist". This figure shows a cyclist in full speed and is so detailed that you almost get the feeling that the guy could start cycling at any moment. Nettesheim often uses wood such as robinia or poplar for his works and lets the natural grain of the wood show through, which gives the figures an organic look.

Nicolas de Pigage Bust

Highlight • Monument

The artist who made this bust is called Hatto Zeidler. He depicted Pigage in a realistic-expressive style, which means that the bust appears to be really alive. Zeidler based his work on the two well-known portraits by Anna Dorothea Therbusch, which also show Pigage wearing this distinctive hat.

Beautiful view of the classical Apollo Temple rotunda framed by trees — one of Schwetzingen Palace Garden's most photogenic spots. A rewarding pause on the route.
