Elisabethenburg Palace, Baroque château in Meiningen, Germany
The Elisabethenburg Palace features three wings forming an E-shape layout with a central tower and semi-circular facade adorned with marble fountain in its courtyard.
Duke Bernard I of Saxe-Meiningen commissioned the palace construction between 1682 and 1692, incorporating parts of a Gothic castle from 1511 into the north wing.
The palace houses the Meininger Museum, Max Reger archives, Thuringian State Archives, and Johannes Brahms concert hall, preserving significant musical and historical collections.
The palace functions as Meiningen City Council headquarters and Registry Office, with guided tours available through ceremonial rooms and museum exhibitions.
The palace interior displays ceiling paintings from multiple periods, from Baroque frescoes to Empire style decorations, alongside a collection of Bach autograph scores.
