Wielandgut Estate in Ossmannstedt

About

Christoph Martin Wieland was one of the most prominent writers of the Enlightenment. Between 1797 and 1803, he spent some of his most productive years at his country estate in Ossmannstedt about ten kilometres northeast of Weimar. The Baroque manor – now a museum with partially original interior furnishings – and the park where Wieland’s gravesite is located, provide an impression of the life and works of this famous poet, translator and publisher.
