Reinhardsbrunn, a country seat of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, 1860. 'This hunting castle, beautifully situated, about nine miles from Gotha, is built on the site of a convent of the same name, but of which no remains exist. The father of Prince Albert built the present structure in the style of the middle ages from the designs of Gustavus Eberhard. It is considered a chef d'oeuvre of its kind, and with great skill unites the conveniences of modem life with the style and spirit of the ancient structure on whose foundations it is built. It contains spacious halls, saloons and corridors, and galleries, summer and winter apartments, a church, and galleries, of which the church and "stag's-horn" galleries are most worthy of notice. The latter is so named from the adornments being composed of stags' horns. The Inselsberg mountains rise immediately behind the mansion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
