General Description The classical building is located on the western boundary of the Park on the Ilm and at the beginning of the avenue leading to Belvedere Castle. It was originally built as a gardener’s lodge at the very end of the 18th century. In 1819, master builder Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray redesigned the house and adapted it architecturally to match the building opposite. The house served as a studio for Friedrich Preller the elder and Hermann Wislicenius from the 1850s until Liszt moved there in 1869.
The music salon with the original Bechstein grand piano and Liszt’s secretary at the far corner, above which hangs a relief portrait of Carl Alexander, grand duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach from 1873 and next to it, a portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven by August Kloeber (1817)
