Friederikenschlösschen Bad Langensalza
Friederikenschlösschen Bad Langensalza
The Friederikenschlösschen is named after the dowager duchess Friederike von Sachsen-Weißenfels (1715-1775). She lived in Langensalza from 1746 until her death and had this small palace built between 1749 and 1751 with the two neighboring cavalier houses as a summer residence. Friederike was a daughter of Duke Friedrich II of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (Ernestines) and married Duke Johann Adolph II of Saxe-Weissenfels (1685-1746). The colorful alliance coat of arms in a cartouche above the entrance door to the Friederikenschlösschen shows the connection between these two ducal houses. Today's Schlösschenpark was reconstructed in its basic Baroque structure from 1751 on the basis of historical plans. Since March 2008, the former carriage and stable house on the north side of the garden has been home to the historic show printing shop of the town of Bad Langensalza. A historic garden pavilion from 1878 has been preserved at the back of the garden. Sulphur water bubbles out of a bronze basin, which has been used as healing water in the spa town of Bad Langensalza since 1812. The baroque summer palace with its idyllic park and attractive outbuildings not only offers peace and relaxation, but is also an impressive venue for concerts, weddings and other events.
