The Queen's visit to Germany: Kallenberg [sic], near Cobourg, the Duke's hunting chateau - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. 'The vicinity of Coburg is beautiful, and Kallenberg, the favourite palace of the Duke, distant about four miles from Coburg, commands some of the finest prospects. Like almost all the palaces or residences round, it is perched on an eminence which is reached by a winding road through a beautiful plantation. The interior of the palace is fitted up in the most elegant, and at the same time comfortable, style. This summer palace is not built on a grand scale, but, like Roseneau, it has more the air of the residence of a private gentleman. The architecture is an odd mixture of the turreted style, with the cottage ornée, and the effect is very pretty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
