Monrepos is a Neoclassical lakeside schloss in Ludwigsburg, Germany, designed by Johann Friedrich Nette, Philippe de La Guêpière, and Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret. One of two hunting lodges within the ducal estate, it stands apart from the grander Favorite Palace and Ludwigsburg Palace yet connects to them via pedestrian paths. The site has roots in the sixteenth-century hunting traditions of Württemberg's dukes, who built an octagonal pavilion called the Seehäuslein on the northern shore of Eglosheimer Lake in 1714 under Duke Eberhard Ludwig. Unlike its sister palaces, Monrepos remains in the hands of the royal family of Württemberg following the dynasty's overthrow in 1918. Today it stands as a protected heritage monument, surrounded by a private golf course and the state-owned parks and museums that characterize the broader estate.
