This castle also deserves attention.

The Baroque palace was built in several phases at the end of the 17th and 18th centuries (1694-1786) as a summer residence for the abbots of Langheim. During the first phase, the Langheim abbot Gallus Knauer had the eastern wing built between 1694 and 1698, based on plans attributed to Johann Leonard Dietzenhofer. The later sections of the west wing and western central wing were originally constructed as four-story outbuildings. The four floors reached a total height equal to the three living floors of the first building section. However, by the end of the 18th century, there was already a desire to make the palace-like three-wing complex more prestigious.

The neo-Gothic Ketschendorf Castle is located in the Coburg district of Ketschendorf at the foot of the Buchberg. The Baroness von Stolzenau had it built in the middle of an extensive park at the beginning of the 19th century. The castle is one of the most perfect buildings in the neo-Gothic belt of Coburg and has had nine different owners. From 1956 onwards it was used as a youth hostel, which was closed on December 1, 2010. In 2013 the Coburg company Kaeser Kompressoren acquired the property and had it converted into a seminar and training center. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Ketschendorf

A beautiful place in the middle of the city. The concerts in the Coburg summer take place there in a special setting.

In 1543, Duke Johann Ernst of Saxony decided to move his court from the Veste Coburg down into the city and chose the site of the dissolved Franciscan monastery, along which the city wall ran to the east. The monastery was in the area of the former middle courtyard. Recent research attributes the architectural design to the Saxon architect Nikolaus Gromann.[1] The building shows clear stylistic parallels with the work of Gromann, who may also have been close to the building project in organizational terms as the appointed court architect of Johann Ernst's half-brother, Elector Johann Friedrich. The complex was built until around 1547 under the construction management of Caspar Vischer. A complex was created around two square courtyards, which could be entered from the south via Steingasse.[2] The buildings of the first courtyard with the stair tower, the corner bay window and the dormer windows from this period are still preserved.[3] Between the courtyards was the three-storey princely building, which was accessed via another large stair tower on the north side and had a large hall and a dining room. The palace chapel and other living quarters were located around the second courtyard on the east side, the kitchen on an irregular floor plan to the north and other subordinate rooms to the west. This complex can still be seen with various subordinate extensions on Bieler's floor plan from 1679. It is unclear whether the third courtyard with the stables had already begun in 1543. Only paid craftsmen were employed for the construction and not, as was usual at the time, serf laborers. This special feature is said to have been the reason for the visit of Emperor Charles V in 1547. Charles is said to have given the newly occupied complex the name Ehrenburg on this occasion. The new city palace was inhabited as the residence of a ruling duke until the death of Johann Ernst in 1553 and was then only used extensively.

The Coburg Castle Square is one of the most remarkable square designs in Bavaria. The spacious square is designed as a forecourt to Ehrenburg Castle and is located in the center of the former royal residence of Coburg. The Castle Square was created under Duke Ernst I from 1825 with the demolition of the eastern houses of Grafengasse and the subsequent demolition of the old commercial and auxiliary buildings of the castle, which were located to the north of it, in 1835. It was created in its current design as a representative square by 1849 in the historical and classicist style with the participation of Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Peter Joseph Lenné. Until the beginning of the First World War, the III. Battalion of the 6th Thuringian Infantry Regiment No. 95, stationed in Coburg, used the Castle Square for its parades. A military band played on Sunday afternoons.[1] In the 1920s, the Castle Square was often a meeting place for demonstrators, such as on Bloody Saturday in Coburg. Today, cars can be parked on the Schlossplatz in the evenings during performances at the State Theater. It is also used as an event space, for example for open-air concerts. The first plans for an underground car park on the Schlossplatz were made in 1977, but in 1988 the highest building authority in Munich did not approve it for cost and monument protection reasons.
