Schloss Greinburg - Virtual Tour

Virtual Tour

Passing through the Hall one enters the so-called "Fürstenzimmer" Princes' Room, the beginning of the tour through the Coburg rooms. The stove in the Princes' Room, covered with Hafner tiles, was presumably installed in the time of the Earl Meggau.

Especially interesting in the Coat of Arms Room is the net-vaulted ceiling, with joining stones carrying the coat of arms of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The bureaux, chests of drawers and games tables inlaid with marquetry are of particularly high quality, manufactured in the 18th century in Franconian-Thuringian workshops.

The dining room was fitted out with a richly stuccoed ceiling under the Earl Meggau. The portraits of members of the Hannoverian-English royal household demonstrate the distinguished family connections of the House of Coburg. The adjoining parlour is mainly furnished with English furniture from around 1820. Among the paintings to be found in the parlour is the portrait of the Princess Royal Charlotte of Great Britain, who died in 1817 and was the first wife of Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. There are also numerous pictures of the children of Queen Victoria, among them one of Prince Leopold, the father of the last reigning Duke of Coburg, Carl Eduard.
