Queen Victoria's visit to Germany: Reinhardsbrunn, near Gotha, the residence of Her Majesty, 1862. Creator: S. R
Queen Victoria's visit to Germany: Reinhardsbrunn, near Gotha, the residence of Her Majesty, 1862. The country seat of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the abode at present of her Majesty Queen Victoria, is beautifully situated about nine miles from Gotha. It is built on the site of an ancient Benedictine Abbey, destroyed in the Peasants War, 1525. The present structure was erected by the father of the late Prince Consort, in the style of the middle ages, from the designs of Gustavus Eberhard; and it unites with great skill the conveniences of modern life with the style and spirit of the ancient building on whose foundation it stands. It contains summer and winter apartments, spacious halls, saloons, corridors, and galleries, of which latter the stags-homs gallery (so named from its adornments being composed of stags horns) is most worthy of notice. Several curious old monuments of Saxon Princes are placed in the chapel. The country about Reinhardsbrunn resembles a beautiful park, and immediately behind the mansion rises the Insels Berg, from the top of which a finer view can he obtained than from any other mountain of the Thuringian range'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Queen Victoria during her visit to Reinhardsbrunn, the picturesque residence of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha located near Gotha, Germany, in 1862. The country seat, which served as the monarch's abode at the time, was built on the site of an ancient Benedictine Abbey that was destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525. The present structure, designed by Gustavus Eberhard from the father of the late Prince Consort, skillfully blends the conveniences of modern life with the style and spirit of the ancient building. Reinhardsbrunn boasts summer and winter apartments, spacious halls, saloons, corridors, and galleries, including the notable stags' horns gallery. The chapel houses several intriguing old monuments of Saxon Princes. The surrounding countryside mirrors a beautiful park, and the Insels Berg mountain, visible behind the mansion, offers a breathtaking view that surpasses any other vantage point in the Thuringian range. The Illustrated London News, a renowned British publication, captured this moment in history, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of Queen Victoria's visit to Reinhardsbrunn. The image, created by the talented artist S. R, offers a captivating window into the past, showcasing the elegance and charm of the 19th century European royalty.
