History
Today's palace grew out of the former Altenstein estate and in the 19th century became the summer residence of the princes of Saxe-Meiningen. After a fire in 1982, the facility underwent a long reconstruction.
The greatest value of the complex is the romantic park with caves, rocks, a waterfall and viewing axes. The palace itself remains under construction, but the park is officially accessible.
Choć wnętrza pozostają objęte pracami, park jest pełnowartościowym celem wycieczki. Aleje prowadzą między naturalnymi skałami, sztucznymi grotami i osiami widokowymi tak, aby kolejne obrazy odsłaniały się stopniowo.
Warto uwzględnić Altensteiner Höhle oraz Bonifatiusfelsen i nie ograniczać się do fasady. Historia odbudowy po pożarze z 1982 roku dodaje pałacowi wymiar miejsca odzyskiwanego, a rozległość parku zachęca do dłuższej wędrówki.
