Trivia

* Before the construction of the palace, the hill Rosenstein Castle stands on was called ''Kahlenstein'' () as it was bare of trees. Afterwards, it became known as ''Rosenstein'' () 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.
