Yellow Castle

The Yellow Castle in Weimar is a listed Baroque building from the year 1704, which was built as a widow's residence for Duchess Charlotte Dorothea Sophie. It is part of the historic castle complex of Weimar's city center and is an architectural expression of the former court and residence city. Johann Sebastian Bach gave music lessons here for the two princes of Duke Johann Ernst III. The successful writer August von Kotzebue spent his youth in this house. Years later, the castle was designated as the seat of the Thuringian Ministry of Finance. Since 1998, the building has been part of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and has been part of the new study center of the Duchess Anna Amalia Library since 2005.
The Yellow Castle is part of the historic castle complex around Weimar's "Place of Democracy," which also houses the "Green Castle" with the Duchess Anna Amalia Library. The Yellow Castle forms the northern end of the urban ensemble.
