En un regard
Le château en bref
Villa Eugenia stands in Hechingen, Baden-Württemberg, in the middle of the princely English-style garden. Built in 1786-87 in an early neoclassical style as the pavilion of the Lustgarten of the princes of Hohenzollern-Hechingen, it was enlarged in 1833-34 for Hereditary Prince Konstantin and his wife Eugénie de Beauharnais, after whom it is named: an extra storey, a tent-shaped roof and two side wings gave it its late neoclassical appearance. It was the centre of a cultured court life, and the principality was handed over to Prussia there on 8 April 1850. Used as housing from 1918, bought by the town in 1995, it was fully renovated until 2007. Today it hosts cultural and private events and a branch of the registry office.
