Trivia[edit]
- Before the construction of the palace, the hill Rosenstein Castle stands on was called Kahlenstein (German: Bald Rock) as it was bare of trees. Afterwards, it became known as Rosenstein (German: Rose Rock) because of the rose garden southeast of the palace.
- Directly under Rosenstein Castle is Württemberg's first railroad tunnel.[2] Constructed between July 1844 and July 1846, the tunnel is 326 metres (1,070 ft) long[2] and was used until a new tunnel, located further east and not passing under the castle, was completed in 1915.[3]
