Fürstengruft

Look up at the grand dome of the Prince's Crypt, reaching towards the sky. This is more than just a burial site; it's a testament to the history and architecture of Weimar. Did you know that this crypt was initially intended only for the nobility of the House of Saxe-Weimar? That changed when Goethe, Weimar's most illustrious resident, was laid to rest here. There's also a fascinating mystery surrounding Schiller's burial—legend has it he was interred here too, but there's still some doubt. Turn around, and you'll spot the Russian Orthodox Church, another historic landmark close by. Let the quiet of this place sink in and imagine the countless stories these walls have witnessed since 1828.
