Classical Weimar, UNESCO World Heritage architectural ensemble in Weimar, Germany.

Classical Weimar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of eleven separate monuments in and around Weimar, inscribed in 1998. They include Goethe's House, a Baroque home built between 1707 and 1709, Schiller's House, built in 1777 with a sixteenth-century outbuilding, the Herder Church, the Residence Castle, the Dowager's Palace, the Duchess Anna Amalia Library, the Park on the Ilm with the Roman House and Goethe's Garden House, the palaces and parks of Belvedere, Ettersburg and Tiefurt, and the Historical Cemetery with the Princes' Tomb.

Wieland arrived in Weimar in 1772, Goethe in 1775, Herder a year later and Schiller in 1799; the residence became a focus of the European Enlightenment. The UNESCO inscription of 2 December 1998 covers eleven monuments of the Weimar Classicism period, roughly 1780 to 1830. Goethe's death in 1832 marked its end. An earlier nomination that also included the Wieland estate at Oßmannstedt was rejected on ICOMOS advice.

The ensemble takes its name from Weimar Classicism, the literary movement around Wieland, Goethe, Herder and Schiller between about 1780 and 1830. The 1998 UNESCO listing covers eleven monuments, from the writers' houses and the Duchess Anna Amalia Library to the Princes' Tomb; the Wieland estate at Oßmannstedt was dropped from the nomination on ICOMOS advice.

Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the sites are spread across the city and walking is needed to explore them. Good orientation helps when finding the different houses, as they are not all located right next to each other.

Goethe's Garden House in the Park on the Ilm is one of the eleven UNESCO World Heritage sites of Classical Weimar. The small building served him as a retreat where he wrote and pursued botanical studies. The surrounding garden, which he cultivated himself, is also part of the inscribed property.
