Villa Ludwigshöhe

Villa Ludwigshöhe is a former summer residence of Ludwig I of Bavaria overlooking Edenkoben and Rhodt unter Rietburg in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Next to the Villa is the lower station of the "Rietburgbahn" chairlift, by which the Rietburg can be reached; it is also accessible by road.

The Villa was built by Joseph Hoffmann (Ludwigshafen/Rhine) according to plans from architect Friedrich Wilhelm von Gärtner.

In 1847 the architect died and Leo von Klenze took care of the site management.

Ludwig I lived in the Villa every two years during July and August, and also celebrated his birthday there.
