Zucht- und Waisenhaus, Heritage monument in Böttchergasse, Weimar, Germany
The Zucht- und Waisenhaus building features a neoclassical design with distinct architectural elements arranged across multiple floors in central Weimar.
Built in 1713 by architect Christian Richter under Duke Wilhelm Ernst's directive, this structure initially served as both an orphanage and correctional facility.
The building later housed various institutions including the Grand Ducal Trade School and provided spaces for educational and social welfare programs.
Located at coordinates 50.980033, 11.326274, the structure stands as the sole remaining building from its original surrounding neighborhood after World War II.
The facility offered tax exemptions for 30 years to encourage settlement in Weimar and supported the local Huguenot community until 1717.
