The Roman House (Römisches Haus) is located within the picturesque Park an der Ilm, the most famous landscaped park in Weimar. Built between 1791 and 1797 as a country house for Duke Carl August, it was designed according to the canons of neoclassicism under the supervision of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who played a key role in its conception.

The building is inspired by Roman villas, with simple and elegant lines, a portico with Ionic columns, and interior spaces decorated with frescoes and furnishings inspired by classical antiquity. The Roman House was intended to represent the ideal connection between nature, art, and rationality, reflecting the ideals of Weimar humanism and German Classicism.

Today, the house is open to visitors as a museum and offers a rare opportunity to immerse oneself in the aesthetics and philosophy of the time. Among the most fascinating rooms are the audience chamber, with mythological frescoes, and the study, which houses historical furnishings and documents related to Goethe and the duke.

Immersed in a unique natural setting, the Roman House is a perfect destination for those visiting Weimar in search of European cultural roots and the dialogue between art, nature, and thought.
