Altenstein Palace, Renaissance revival palace in Bad Liebenstein, Germany.

The palace sits on a 160-hectare estate featuring English architectural elements with curved windows, round bay windows, and numerous chimneys with obelisk tops.

Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen commissioned the palace between 1888 and 1890 to replace a simple baroque building from 1736.

The palace houses a memorial dedicated to Johannes Brahms, who visited multiple times between 1894 and 1895 during his stays with Duke Georg II.

The palace grounds include maintained gardens with 4,600 plants, carpet beds, and knot gardens that visitors can explore through guided tours or audio guides.

The surrounding landscape park merges seamlessly with natural terrain, offering views across the Werra Valley and incorporating structures built on natural rock formations.
