Prinzenpalais

The Prinzenpalais is a palace in Gotha built in the late 17th century with ornate stucco decoration throughout its rooms. The interior spaces contain paintings, furniture, and decorative objects that represent different phases of noble living style.

The building was constructed in the late 17th century for the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family and served as a ducal residence. It hosted important political meetings and events held by the ruling family.

The palace displays how nobility lived across different periods, with furniture and artworks reflecting changing tastes and styles. The rooms give visitors a sense of daily life within the ducal family's household.

The palace can be explored on guided tours through its rooms, with information about opening times available at the entrance. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as there are many stairs and hallways to navigate.

The palace houses historical administrative documents and regional artifacts that offer insight into local political decisions from past centuries. These archives are rarely accessible to visitors, making the building more than just a display of collections.
