Schloss Ebersdorf, Royal palace in Saalburg-Ebersdorf, Germany.
Description
Schloss Ebersdorf is a royal palace in Saalburg-Ebersdorf with four symmetrical wings surrounding a central courtyard. The classical west wing with its columned facade was designed in 1792 and defines the building's distinctive profile.
History
The palace was built starting in 1690 as a residence for the Counts of Reuss-Ebersdorf, replacing an older fortification on the site. This noble seat maintained its importance until 1848 and records the history of a local ruling dynasty.
Culture
The interior spaces display German baroque design elements that reflect the taste of Thuringian nobility from the 17th century. The rooms give a sense of how wealthy families of that era lived and decorated their homes.
Practical
The palace is located at 3 Lobensteiner Strasse in Ebersdorf and is visible from the outside, though it now serves as a private residence. Roof restoration work was completed in 2020, so the building is in good condition.
Did you know?
Napoleon Bonaparte spent the night of 9-10 October 1806 at the palace and issued a proclamation to the Saxon people from here. This brief episode connected the location to major events unfolding across Europe at that time.
