Experience Branitz with all your senses: Castle and Park in the Pückler Universe
This public tour at the Prince Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz opens your view to a unique total work of art combining garden art, architecture, and vibrant history. On May 25, 2026, at 10:30 AM, the tour will take you into the world of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau and his Branitz park landscape.
A discovery experience between living spaces and landscaped gardens
Whether castle tour or park tour: The topic will be set on-site, making each date a little surprise. Upon entering the castle, visitors will discover authentically preserved living spaces, historical furnishings, and the atmosphere in which the eccentric prince presented himself as a traveler, writer, and garden artist.
Pückler's masterpiece in Lusatia
The park features the famous Branitz landscape with winding paths, watercourses, clusters of trees, and the distinctive pyramids. The site is considered the pinnacle of 19th-century landscape gardening and provides an impressive picture of how consistently Pückler thought about nature, architecture, and staging together.
Cultural heritage to touch
The tour connects local history with an immediate sense of space: the view of the late Baroque castle, the park spaces around the ensemble, and the special handwriting of the prince provide a cultural enrichment that goes far beyond a classic tour. Those who want to not just hear but see and experience history will find one of the most distinctive places in Cottbus here.
