Exterior view Wittumspalais in Weimar

The Baroque dowager residence (Wittumspalais), in downtown Weimar, was home to Duchess Anna Amalia of Saxony-Weimar and Eisenach for many years until her death in 1807. This was where she staged many of her legendary social events. The interior furnishings of her former living quarters and parlours highlight Anna Amalia’s numerous hobbies and evoke an impression of contemporary culture around 1800.
