Schwetzingen Castle is a palace in the German state (Bundesland) of Baden-Württemberg. It is situated in Schwetzingen, roughly at equidistance to Heidelberg and Mannheim. Schwetzingen Castle was the summer residence of the Electors Palatine Karl III Philip and Charles Theodore, and is most notable for its spacious and ornate gardens. Other than these exceptionally well preserved gardens and the castle proper, the compound also features one of the few surviving theaters in the rococo style. It is the principal venue for the annual Schwetzingen Festival.
