A special castle tour in Branitz: Experience history with all senses

On August 8, 2026, Branitz Castle in Cottbus will open its doors for an inclusive tour specifically aimed at visually impaired and blind individuals. Under the title Princess Lucie – tracing the hostess, the journey explores the world of Branitz Castle and Park, making the life stages of Lucie, daughter of Prince Hardenberg, impressively tangible.

Tracking down a significant cultural monument

The tour combines local history with a sensory approach to one of the most important garden and castle ensembles in Lusatia. Furniture pieces and tactile models enhance the on-site experience, providing a haptic dimension that closely connects architecture, interior design, and memory culture.

A program with special sensitivity

The meeting point at the castle ticket office ensures clear orientation, while the compact duration of one hour makes the format pleasantly manageable.
