This small villa in its relaxing park grounds was the first home of Johann Wolfgang Goethe when he came to live in Weimar. He later kept the house on as a summer residence. He was responsible for designing the park grounds, which sit alongside the River Ilm. The building was restored in 1996, setting the interior back to how it was in Goethe’s day. Visitors can come and see the building’s interiors and information about its history.
