The Belvedere Schloß

A favourite resort of ours, as of all the inhabitants of Weimar, was Belvedere, one of the Duke’s summer residences about 2 miles from Weimar. A chaussée bordered by noble chestnut trees leads to the entrance of the grounds which are open to all the world as much as to the Duke himself.
