Veste Coburg Art Collections

The Veste Coburg Art Collections occupy a hilltop fortress and display paintings, prints, drawings, Venetian glass, hunting weapons, and medieval objects. The rooms showcase a wide range of artworks and crafted artifacts spanning different periods.

The fortress peaked in the 16th century when it served as a residence for Saxon Electors and sheltered Martin Luther in 1530. Over time, the building became an important center for collecting and preserving artworks.

The collection displays works by artists such as Cranach and Dürer, reflecting the artistic strength of the region during the Renaissance. These paintings reveal the taste and influence that once shaped this fortress.

The museum is open year-round, and tickets remain valid for four weeks after purchase. Your admission gives you access to multiple collections housed throughout the fortress complex.

The Intarsia Hunting Room from 1632 features complete wooden panel decorations depicting spatial depth and hunting scenes through intricate carving. The collection also holds two of the earliest known carriages, revealing how transportation evolved centuries ago.
