On the banks of the Ilm River, just a few kilometers from the center of Weimar, Schloss Tiefurt is one of the most charming residences of German classicism. Used as the summer residence of Duchess Anna Amalia, the castle became an important intellectual center at the end of the 18th century, frequented by personalities such as Goethe, Herder, and Wieland.

Today, the simple and elegant building houses a museum that recreates the atmosphere at the court of Anna Amalia with original furniture, paintings, portraits, and relics from the time. The rooms preserve a refined intimacy that reflects the personality of the Duchess and the vibrant cultural life that took place here.

Surrounding the castle is an English landscape garden designed as a place for reflection and inspiration. The park is dotted with temples, busts, inscriptions, and poetic paths, making it a true "open-air book" of Enlightenment thinking. The Tiefurt Park is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the "Classical Weimar" ensemble.

Schloss Tiefurt is an essential stop for those looking to discover the heart of German humanistic thinking and experience the intimate and creative atmosphere of one of the most fruitful epochs of European culture.
