A place where history comes alive

Castle Branitz showcases the eccentric life of the prince in its authentically preserved rooms and provides an immediate impression of representation, everyday culture, and taste of the 19th century. Those choosing the park tour will experience Pückler's visionary garden art with its curved sightlines, landscape settings, and the concept of the English landscape park.

From the castle cabinet to the garden landscape

The tour alternates between fine interior impressions and the expansive park landscape, which was created over an area of more than 620 hectares. The contrast between historic buildings, pleasure ground, and the distinctive park motifs, for which Branitz is known far beyond Cottbus, is particularly appealing. This makes the city tour a cultural enrichment for guests who want to experience architecture, landscape, and history together.
