Goethe's Garden House
Goethes Gartenhaus
A small house in Park an der Ilm where Goethe lived and wrote when he first arrived in Weimar, with a garden in front that he planted himself.
This small house with a steep gabled roof was given to Goethe in 1776 by Duke Carl August. He lived here for six years and continued to return to write and rest. The interior is simply furnished and preserves his writing desk and bedroom. The garden in front is planted with fruit, vegetables and flowers in the style of Goethe's time. Admission is about €7. The rooms are very small, so queues can form in peak season. It is a walk through Park an der Ilm from the centre.
Opening hours
Approx. April–October, 10:00–18:00
