The Schlossmuseum, aka the castle museum, is located within the reconstructed Residence Castle. Together with other sites in the city, it forms the UNESCO-listed collection of buildings known as Classical Weimar. Survey the works in this precious collection, which grew out of the old ducal art collection. It includes pieces dating from as far back as the Middle Ages all the way through to the early 20th century. Find out about the history of the city castle, whose north, east and west wings are now occupied by the museum. Originally a moated castle built for the dukes of Saxe-Weimar and Eisenach, the building has since been destroyed, rebuilt and remodeled several times. The current construction has its origins in the 18th century, with several additional wings and renovation projects taking place over the centuries that followed. Explore the exhibits in the castle, which has hosted a museum since 1923\. Make your way through the grand galleries. Paintings are organized chronologically and are displayed in historic castle rooms. Don’t miss the Cranach Gallery, which features works from renowned German Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. Here, paintings from other German masters including Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein and Philipp Otto Runge can also be seen. In addition to paintings, the collection also features several sculptures and craft pieces. Inspect furniture produced in David Roentgen’s workshop and marvel at the craftsmanship of fine European porcelain. Examine some of the precious objects brought here by Maria Pavlovna of Russia, the daughter of Russian czar Paul I. Pavlovna married Charles Frederick, the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach in 1804, making her the Grand Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Find the Schlossmuseum to the north of the Park an der Ilm in Weimar’s historical center. The museum is open every day except Monday. An entrance fee applies. ### Popular places to visit ![Stadtkirche St Peter und Paul showing night scenes and a church or cathedral](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621533168650/6730c8be-d1c0-4a0e-b9ae-2bdf77f0fbfc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Stadtkirche St Peter und Paul View the magnificent altarpiece by Lucas Cranach the Elder in this Gothic church where Martin Luther preached and Johann Sebastian Bach performed.
