"The Temple of Apollo (in a wintry setting) Located in the picturesque palace gardens, this beautiful monument features a natural theater with a temple. Designed by Nicolas de Pigage and created between 1761 and 1775, Apollotempel was once the venue of splendid opera performances during summers. The monument is said to have been built in honor of Apollo, the Greek god of healing, music, and dance, after Elector Carl Theodor recovered from an illness. A series of steps and passages lead to the temple, which looks enchanting amid a grove of trees and shrubs. From the temple, visitors can witness spectacular views of the natural theater, the old orangery, and the sprawling palace garden itself." https://cityseeker.com/schwetzingen-de/1173025-apollotempel Open Air Theater in the Schwetzingen Palace and Gardens
