Trivia

* Before the construction of the palace, the hill Rosenstein Castle stands on was called ''Kahlenstein'' (german: link=no, Bald Rock) as it was bare of trees. Afterwards, it became known as ''Rosenstein'' (german: link=no, Rose Rock) because of the rose garden southeast of the palace. * Directly under Rosenstein Castle is Württemberg's first railroad tunnel. Constructed between July 1844 and July 1846, the tunnel is long and was used until a new tunnel, located further east and not passing under the castle, was completed in 1915.
