In 1899, the equestrian monument to Duke Ernst II, based on a model by Gustav Eberlein, was erected on the western edge of the court garden above Schlossplatz. The bronze equestrian figure with the uniform of the 7th Prussian Cuirassier Regiment stands on a six meter high base.

Ernst was the eldest son of Duke Ernst of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and Princess Luise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, the last legitimate descendant of the royal house of the same name. The age difference between the two spouses was considerable. At the time of the marriage on July 31, 1817, the bride was 16 years old, the groom 33. They were therefore very different in terms of life experience. Ernst's younger brother was Prince Albert, the later husband of the British Queen Victoria.
