Discover Branitz Castle in the glow of historic lights
When winter envelops Branitz Castle in a quiet, mysterious atmosphere, a special tour places the historical light sources of the house in the spotlight. On November 14, 2026, blind and visually impaired visitors will experience an inclusive castle tour that makes chandeliers, lamps, and candleholders accessible through listening, touching, and exploring together.
Experience historic lighting with all senses
The focus is on the lights with which the princely family illuminated their rooms around 180 years ago. Together, the group traces the traces of historical residential culture and discovers chandeliers and candleholders on artfully designed console tables. A flashlight directs attention to selected details and creates a unique, concentrated atmosphere in the winter-dimmed castle.
Audio and tactile tour in Branitz Castle
The city tour combines cultural-historical mediation with tactile experiences. Supplementary tactile materials make selected contents and forms tangible. Thus, the cultural heritage of Branitz Castle is not only explained but made accessible as an immediate discovery experience. The sensitive conception specifically targets blind and visually impaired individuals.
Insights into princely residential culture
The historical lights tell of everyday life, representation, and spatial design in the princely world. Between mysterious figures, decorative furniture, and quiet salons, an illustrative access to local history and the furnishings of Branitz Castle is created. The limited group size of ten people supports a personal and calm presentation.
Important notes for the visit
The tour lasts about 60 minutes and starts at 2:00 PM at the castle box office. Branitz Castle is not barrier-free due to its historical structure and is not accessible for wheelchair users. Designated disabled parking spaces are available in the public parking lot on Kastanienallee near the castle.
