Palais Schardt, Baroque city palace in Weimar, Germany

Palais Schardt at Scherfgasse 3 in Weimar is a privately run building named after Johann Wilhelm Christian von Schardt, father of Charlotte von Stein. The older core was rebuilt to his designs at great expense, and a Rococo connecting passage leads to the Goethepavillon. The house now holds a café, a museum with Hannelore Henze's historic toy collection, and event spaces.

The building was originally called the Schwarzenfelsische Haus and was older than its present form; Johann Wilhelm Christian von Schardt, chamberlain and court marshal, had it rebuilt to his own ideas at great expense. His daughter Charlotte von Stein spent her childhood and youth here. On 11 November 1775 she first met Goethe in the adjoining pavilion, which is now called the Goethepavillon.

The palace is named after Johann Wilhelm Christian von Schardt, court marshal and father of Charlotte von Stein, who spent her childhood and youth here. Today it is run privately and used as a café and museum, with the historical toy collection of Hannelore Henze on display; events are also held in the building.

The building is privately run and serves as both a café and a museum, with cultural events held there. It stands at Scherfgasse 3, and the entire Scherfgasse is listed as a cultural monument. The Kleine Teichgasse 8 next door, where the Landschaftskasse was located and Josias von Stein once lived, is also nearby.

The pavilion is called Goethepavillon because Charlotte von Stein and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe first met there on 11 November 1775, the start of their friendship and later love affair. The garden around it is known as the Duftgarten, and the pavilion gave its name to the nearby Pavillon-Presse Weimar.
