The view from the arcades across Coburg’s Palace Square (Schlossplatz) is captivating at any time of day.
To the right, the state theatre and Palais Edinburgh stand proudly, while to the left, Ehrenburg Palace dominates the scene with its magnificent Neo-Gothic sandstone façade. Duke Ernst I commissioned the creation of the square in its current form from 1825 onwards, during a lengthy reconstruction phase. The arcades in the late Italian Renaissance style serve as a kind of boundary at the foot of the Hofgarten park and invite visitors to stroll and relax. During the summer months, numerous concerts and festivals take place on the square.
