Tiefurt House
Schloss Tiefurt
The summer villa of Duchess Anna Amalia, a gathering place for the 'Court of the Muses' literary circle, set in a landscape garden beside the River Ilm.
Tiefurt House is a modest country residence where Anna Amalia hosted salons and amateur theatricals with writers including Goethe, Wieland and Herder. It became known as the 'Court of the Muses'. The house retains its 18th-century furnishings, and the garden along the River Ilm is decorated with monuments and small temples. Admission is about €7. It is about 4 km from the centre of Weimar and can be reached by bicycle along the river.
