Branitz Castle and Its Distinctive Character

Branitz Park was created between 1845 and 1871 from a flat landscape that Prince Pückler transformed into an artistic park landscape with hills, valleys, watercourses, and striking earth pyramids. This backdrop also shapes the castle tour and gives the visit an extraordinary depth. Walking through Branitz, one does not just experience a museum, but a living chapter of German garden and cultural history.
