Schlosspark
The 91-acre park is one of the biggest in Germany and a very beautiful, too. It was one of the first English-style landscape gardens in Germany and all of continental Europe. There is a number of very old trees, including some 500-year-old oaks.
Schloss Friedenstein
Early-Baroque palace of the Dukes of Saxe-Gotha, built in 1643–1654 as one of Germany's biggest 17th-century stately homes. The complex includes the Schlossmuseum (museum), museum of regional history, huge numismatic collection, the Ekhof-Theater (ducal court theatre), a research centre as well as the palace chapel and ducal tombs. The casemates of the palace's fortress are accessible, too.

Prinzenpalais
Early Neoclassical villa built for Prince August, one of the Duke's brothers, who was a friend of Goethe and sympathised with the ideas of Enlightenment and sponsored a circle of artists, including Herder and Wieland. Since the 1990s, it stands empty.
