The Margrave of Baden Franziska Sibylla Augusta had a chapel built in Einsiedeln, Switzerland in 1710. She visited the site on many occasions to pray, as her first born, Crown Prince Ludwig Georg couldn't talk. On one trip, the 6 year old Prince uttered his first words.

When the Margrave and whole family moved to Baden-Wurtemberg in Germany, she has built a copy of this Swiss chapel in Rastatt by Johann Michael Ludwig Rohrer the famous court architect. The chapel has a richly decorated facade. The top of the chapel is decorated with statues of Our Lady, St. Benedictine, and St. Moor and above the door is the Margrave of Baden crest.
The tall Water Tower in Rastatt (Germ. Wasserturm) 22 metre high looks like a castle tower or donjon. It was built the early 20th century.
