    Ehrenburg Palace was built in the 16th century under Duke Johann Ernst as a representative city residence. Upon completion, the dukes' court was moved from the fortress to the new building in the city. According to legend, Emperor Charles V gave the imposing three-wing complex the name "Ehrenburg" to express his pride that the construction - rather unusual for the time - was only carried out by paid workers.

      Magnificent palace, formerly the residence of the Coburg dukes, with art by Dutch and Flemish masters.

        Ehrenburg Castle
        Ehrenburg Castle was built in the 16th century as a representative city residence under the Coburg dukes. In 1543, Johann Ernst of Saxe-Coburg commissioned the building, which was intended to replace an abolished Franciscan monastery. Just five years later, the Duke was able to move his court from the fortress on the castle hill down to the city. Emperor Charles V is said to have given the completed three-wing complex the name “Ehrenburg” because the construction was carried out without compulsory labor.
