Goethe's Garden House, nestled in the greenery of the Park on the Ilm in Weimar, is one of the most iconic places associated with the famous German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Gifted by Duke Carl August in 1776, it was his first residence in the city and serves as a creative refuge where the author lived, wrote, and dedicated himself to gardening and science.

The building, simple and sober in style, still preserves original furniture, manuscripts, scientific instruments, and personal belongings of Goethe. Some of his most important works were created here, such as the verses of "Prometheus" and parts of "The Sorrows of Young Werther." The surrounding garden, tended by the poet himself, reflects his interest in botany and a harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

Visiting allows you to immerse yourself in Goethe's private dimension and better understand the cultural environment of the classical Weimar period, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The garden house is part of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar foundation, which also manages other Goethe sites in the city.

An impressive stop for literature, philosophy, and history enthusiasts in a cozy and charming setting, perfect for a contemplative break in the heart of the park.
