Schloss Ehrenburg
About
The palace was built by Johann Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Coburg, in 1543. The new city palace was built around a dissolved Franciscan monastery. In 1690 a fire destroyed the northern part of the palace. This was an opportunity for Albert V, Duke of Saxe-Coburg, who had a new Baroque style palace built in 1699. In the 19th Century, Ernst I had the palace redesigned by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in Gothic Revival style.
