Beautiful sight and great garden

A very beautiful facility that you can visit. The exhibition in the bird sanctuary is extremely interesting and very educational.

A stork nests on the roof.

Unfortunately it is still closed due to construction work. So we'll be back. A circular hike from there is definitely worth it.

Historic city center of Bad Langensalza

The Friederikenschlösschen is named after the dowager duchess Friederike of Saxony-Weissenfels (1715-1775). She lived in Langensalza from 1746 until her death and had this palace built between 1749 and 1751 with the two neighboring cavalier houses as a summer residence. Friederike was a daughter of Duke Friedrich II of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (Ernestine) and was married to Duke Johann Adolph II of Saxony-Weissenfels (1685-1746). The colored alliance coat of arms in a cartouche above the entrance door to the Friederikenschlösschen shows the connection between these two ducal houses. The current palace park was reconstructed in its baroque basic structure from 1751 based on historical plans. The former carriage and stable house on the north side of the garden has housed the historic printing works of the city of Bad Langensalza since March 2008. In the back part of the garden, a historic garden pavilion from 1878 has been preserved. There, sulphur water bubbles out of a bronze basin, which has been used as healing water in the spa town of Bad Langensalza since 1812.

Dryburg Castle was owned by the Lords of Salza until 1345. After its destruction in 1346, the sovereign officials had the castle rebuilt as the administrative seat. The west wing visible today combines a late Romanesque residential tower (before 1346) and two castle houses (mid-14th century), which were connected to each other around 1530 by the installation of a staircase. Between 1694 and 1720, the castle was redesigned as the widow's residence of the Duchy of Saxony-Weißenfels and the southern wing that was preserved was built in half-timbered construction. The Dowager Duchess Friederike von Sachsen-Weißenfels (1715-1775) lived in the castle from 1746 and had a summer residence built outside the city gates from 1749, today's Friederikenschlösschen. In 1899, Dryburg Castle burned down to a large extent and the city of Langensalza bought the remaining buildings from the castle in 1927 and set up four municipal apartments there, among other things. TIP The Dryburg is an absolute must for art lovers. This is where the Kunstwestthüringer e.V. gallery is at home. From Thursday to Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the exhibitions by nationally and internationally known artists attract numerous visitors.

From May to October, guided tours of the local bird life are offered every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday at 2:00 p.m. Not only can live birds be observed more closely in the fuller areas of the bird sanctuary, but you can also find out a lot of useful information about the world of birds in the exhibition rooms. The bird protection park with its bird aviaries and display boards invites you to an interesting but also relaxing tour. A tour of the exhibition rooms in the castle is also possible.
