Gohliser Schlösschen

Not far from Leipzig's city center is the beautiful Gohliser Schlösschen, also affectionately known as the Musenhof am Rosental. The Gohliser Schlösschen was built in 1755/56 by the Leipzig merchant Johann Caspar Richter. It is one of the unique Saxon gems and highlights of rococo architecture in Leipzig.

The palace garden with its fountain and statues is the last surviving garden of Leipzig's once famous bourgeois baroque garden culture. In the "Musenhof am Rosenthal" you ll encounter famous names all around - Körner and his circle of friends, Friedrich Schiller, Robert Schumann and Johann Ludwig Gebhard von Alvensleben.

The palace became the property of the city in 1793 by testamentary disposition. It was bought by the von Alvensleben family in 1832. Due to the value-consciousness of the time, the owners in the 19th century did not allow any changes to be made. After the renovation in 1998, much of the original architecture became visible again. Today, the complex enjoys a special reputation as an urban court of muses. In addition to readings, concerts and exhibitions, it also offers an exclusive setting for receptions, galas and weddings.
