Schloss Ehrenburg in Coburg

You're standing on Schlossplatz in Coburg, in front of Ehrenburg Palace. In the middle of the square is a statue of Duke Ernst I. He's the man who gave this palace the face you see today. Take a look at the façade. Those turrets and pointed decorations look medieval, but they're actually nineteenth century. From 1810 the Berlin architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel remodelled the palace in Gothic Revival style, and the front was clad in sandstone.
