A tale of music and theatre
Elisabethenburg Palace in Meiningen
Wow, this looks very grand! I’m really impressed by Elisabethenburg Palace’s semi-circular facade. From above, it probably looks like half a doughnut or a crescent moon. Behind it lies the courtyard with the marble fountain and the grand three-winged palace complex. Elisabethenburg Palace was the residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen. At the end of the 19th century, under Duke Georg II, its court theatre and orchestra drew attention and admiration across Europe. I’m keen to find out more and head off on my tour of discovery. Two floors, 50 exhibition rooms, and me and my camera!
