Queen Vic's Grand Schloss Soiree: A Regal Glimpse at Schloss Molsdorf, Erfurt
Queen's visit to Erfurt accompanied by a public exhibition at the castle - Monarch's upcoming tour to Erfurt, projected to include a stay at a local castle with a captivating vantage point.
Got some regal nostalgia to satiate? Well, hop on over to Erfurt during the Thuringian Schloss Days for a trip down memory lane with the newly opened exhibition, "Mit königlichen Augen. Queen Victoria besichtigt Schloss Molsdorf." This pompous powwow reminisces about the young Queen Vic's clandestine visit to Schloss Molsdorf way back in August 1845.
This Baroque castle was then under the rule of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, where Vic's hubby, Prince Albert, hailed from. The visiting royals included Prince Albert's bro, Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and his better half, Duchess Alexandrine. With their brood of four kiddos in bl bloody England, our dear royals had quite the taxing journey[1][3].
Once you step foot in the Schlossmuseum Molsdorf, you'll feel like you're voyeuristically spying on Queen Vic herself! This exhibition aims to give you a peek into the castle through her keen eyes. Immerse yourself in some old school black-and-white fotos and reproductions of watercolor castle views and interiors - originals of which still reside in royal collections in London[2][3][5].
But don't foget to check out the comprehensive bilingual (German/English) publication detailing Schloss Molsdorf's historical inventory and furnishings[1][3][4]. Fancy, ain't it?
The exhibition opening kicks off at 4:00 PM, and it's just a small part of the Thuringian Schloss Days extravaganza! Nine majestic castles across Thuringia will offer lectures, tours, performances, and other royally entertaining activities[5]. So, you know, rub shoulders with the nobility, if only for a weekend! After all, remember: what happens in the Schloss, stays in the Schloss!

While delving into the Queen Victoria exhibition, you might find yourself musing about how the home-and-garden of Schloss Molsdorf might have once fitted into the employment policy of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
