Belvedere Palace and Park Weimar

No matter what time of year, you can relax in the spacious park ... and enjoy nature.

A bit uphill from the main train station, but you get a wonderful park and of course the castle with orangery 🙏🌻🦊🍋🍊

Belvedere Palace Park and Orangery
Summer residence with orangery
In the south of Weimar, Belvedere Palace rises on a hill, surrounded by a 43-hectare park. Duke Ernst August of Saxony-Weimar and Eisenach had a baroque summer residence built here between 1724 and 1748, including an orangery and a pleasure garden and maze.
After Ernst August's death in 1748, the parks began to fall into disrepair. It was only with the summer stays of Duchess Anna Amalia that they regained their original importance. Duke Carl August, who had reigned since 1775, conducted botanical studies in Belvedere together with Goethe. By 1820, a botanical garden with around 7,900 domestic and foreign plant species had been created.
Hereditary Duke Carl Friedrich had the so-called Russian Garden laid out west of the palace for his wife, the Russian Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna.
The gardens of the Tsar's daughter can still be visited today, as can the recently renovated orangery and the associated gardens. The plant fairs of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar take place regularly in the orangery at the Red Tower.
