Ehrenburg Palace (German: Schloss Ehrenburg) is a palace in Coburg, Germany.
The palace was built by John Ernest, Duke of Saxe-Coburg in 1543. The new city palace was built around a dissolved Franciscan monastery. In 1690 a fire destroyed in 1690 the northern part of the palace. This was an opportunity for Duke Albert V, Duke of Saxe-Coburg who had a new Baroque style palace built in 1699. In the 19th Century, Ernest I had the palace redesigned by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in Gothic Revival style.
The palace is used as a museum today.
