Parcs et jardins à Weimar

Parks and Gardens of Weimar

Weimar’s green spaces are defined by the Classical Weimar UNESCO World Heritage designation. This collection features the sprawling Park an der Ilm, a landscape garden shaped by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and the Baroque grounds of Schloss Belvedere with its ornate orangeries and hedge theater. These sites reflect 18th-century Enlightenment ideals, blending formal French styles with naturalistic English landscape traditions across historic palace gardens and riverside parks.
