History
The complex consists of the Old Palace, a Renaissance palace and the Rococo summer residence of the princes of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Different eras meet here on one rock edge.
Dornburg was the court's favorite vacation spot; in 1828 Goethe spent several weeks here. The gardens are famous for roses, vines and distant views.
Sąsiedztwo Starego Pałacu, renesansowej rezydencji i lekkiego Rokokoschloss zamienia spacer w podróż przez epoki. Zmieniające się fasady i skala wnętrz pokazują ewolucję dworskiego stylu życia.
Tarasy, winorośl i róże prowadzą wzrok ku dolinie Soławy, a pamiątki po Goethem dodają miejscu osobistego tonu. Warto zarezerwować czas osobno na architekturę, ogrody i panoramę, ponieważ każda z tych warstw ma własny charakter.
