Heidecksburg Castle

The Heidecksburg Palace rises above Rudolstadt with white facades, prominent towers, and geometrical gardens spread across multiple levels of landscaped terraces.

Originally built in the 13th century as a fortress for the Count of Orlamünde, the palace underwent reconstruction in the 18th century following destruction during numerous conflicts.

The palace museum displays over 4,000 historical weapons, an extensive painting collection, and numerous rooms furnished with period decorations from the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt dynasty.

Visitors can access the palace museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon advance reservation.

The palace houses the 'Rococo en miniature' exhibition, featuring detailed miniature replicas depicting royal court life during the 18th century.
