Discover Branitz with all your senses: Castle, Park, and Pückler's Legacy
The public castle or park tour at the Fürst Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz opens a view into one of the most impressive garden art works in Germany. On May 14, 2026, the tour leads into the world of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, whose Branitz work of art is considered a masterpiece of landscape design.
Between Living Spaces, Garden Art, and European Significance
In the castle, visitors experience the originally preserved living spaces of the prince and immerse themselves in his life story. Those who choose the park tour follow the traces of visionary garden art with winding paths, watercourses, islands, and the famous pyramids. Branitz combines architecture, landscape, and cultural history into a discovery experience that goes far beyond a classic tour.
A Walk Full of Stories
The historical context adds to the charm of this tour: Hermann Prince of Pückler-Muskau laid out the park starting in 1846 and created a total work of art of international significance in Branitz. The castle reflects the representative taste of the 19th century, while the park, with its finely composed landscape architecture, ranks among the most important facilities in the region. Thus, for guests, a city tour in the broader sense emerges - as a cultural enrichment with a view of the local history of Cottbus and the Lausitz.
