The Tiefurt Schloß

We (…) saw the queer little Schloss, which used to be Amalia’s residence (…). The walls of every room are crowded with engravings, and the tables with rococo wares. There is a suite of rooms which are so small that the largest of them does not take up as much space as a good dining table, and each of these small rooms is crowded with prints, old china, and all sorts of knick-knacks.
