Tiefurt Castle
Duchess Anna Amalia's summer residence
The current design reflects the taste of the time around 1800. Originally it was the estate tenant's house, until Duchess Anna Amalia took over the modest castle building after Ettersburg Castle as a summer residence and turned it into a place for literary and social meetings. The Duchess made a conscious decision not to change the exterior architecture, as she particularly liked the rural ambience.
Anna Amalia also gathered scholars and friends around her in Tiefurt. The heyday of Tiefurt's sociability, which was reflected in Tiefurt's journal, is associated with the first four years of her summer stays. Performances by the Weimar amateur theater were among the special events.
Tour
Several works of art commemorate Anna Amalia's trip to Italy from 1788 to 1790, including a watercolor by Johann Georg Schütz showing the Duchess and her traveling party surrounded by Roman artists in the garden of the Villa d'Este. Sculptures and busts by the court sculptor Gottlieb Martin Klauer in the stairwell as well as porcelain from China, Meissen, Copenhagen, Fürstenberg and Vienna are among the artistic highlights of the furnishings. From the courtyard, it is possible to look into the cold kitchen with a variety of utensils. The historical display dishes made of porcelain, wax and papier-mâché on display there come from the ducal property and imitate the dishes in a deceptively realistic way.
