The views from the Castle are amazing and should not be missed on any trip to Potsdam. Enjoyed the castle but the district around is the best aspect. This is the place you must not miss. The 2 hours were perfect to see the entire area.See more..
4.0Schloss Rheinsberg(71 reviews) - A lovely walk through royal history Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Historic Sites • Castles
This rococo lake view Prussian palace is beautifully restored to give visitors an idea of what it was like to live in an 18th-century castle. The detailed renovation has been completed in exquisite detail. You walk through room after room of incredibly designed salons, all with different themes and lovingly restored furniture. Don't miss the Muschelsaal (Shell Salon), a room decorated with seashells. Don't forget to look up at the ceilings, one has an astrological motif and another painted in a dizzying, almost vertigo-inducing design. If weather permits, the grounds are also beautiful to explore. 8 Euro entrance fee.See more..

4.5Burg Eisenhardt(30 reviews) - Nice view from the tower Castles
For 1 Euro per person you can climb the tower of the castle from which you have a nice view on the town and the surrounding area. With the hills of the Flaeming, it is quite picturesque. Didn’t think that there is a place in Brandenburg that is so hilly.See more..
We stayed at the Schloss & Gut Liebenberg for a weekend for a family reunion. The rooms were nice size for a couple and it had all the right amenities. The service was top notch and the breakfast was amazing. The grounds were great for a stroll or just to sit and enjoy. We really loved the place and the ambient The only drawbacks were the lunch and dinner for the reunion. Our extended family of 80 overwhelmed the staff and they could not provide sufficed utensils, plates or food… There was always something missing…See more..
4.0Schloss Paretz(16 reviews) - Zum Glück gibt es Menschen, die Leidenschaft für Kultur haben Castles
Im ersten Moment dachte ich "Wo sind wir hier gelandet?!" Ist das Luises Landsitz? Und dann hatten wir eine wunderbare Führung durch die königlichen Räume. Die wiederhergestellten Tapeten, die liebevolle Restaurierung, der einfache Garten mit dem nickenden Milchstern (nur hier und jetzt). Und das Beste, es war für einen Feiertag nicht überfüllt. Man konnte alles in Ruhe genießen. Es ist es total wert hierher zu kommen. Den vielen Kulturliebhabern und Spendern sei Dank. Und den netten und kompetenten Mitarbeiterinnen des Schlosses.See more..
4.5Schlosspark Wiesenburg(14 reviews) - Great place to run for young ones and stroll for the old Castles
It is a great place to walk around to explore the beauty of the place, seeing the birds and swans. The tranquillity of the place can calm a person down. There is also a big space for the young one to run and explore in a safe environment. See more..
The baroque hunting castle of Groß Schonebeck was built in its present form under the regency of Prussia's "soldier king" Friedrich Wilhem I.. Today, in its upper story it houses a part of the permanent exhibition "Jagd und Macht" (Of Hunt and Power). On the base floor, we present a sideshow about the German boxing legend, Max Schmeling, showing him from a different view: nature-lover, and hunter. The castle and its grounds are literally made for many occasions: before or after your visit at the exhibitions, you can have a piece of cake or a cup of coffee. Many a couple changed rings in our wedding room on the castles first floor with its wonderful ceiling and wooden fireplace. Over the year, a variety of concerts and readings take place. Our other buildings house the main part of the "Jagd und Macht" exhibition, and also the Tourist Information.See more..
An unplanned stop and discovery of this massive building that must have been very grand in its high days. Pleasant garden overlooking the lake to have some refreshment on our journey from Berlin to Fürstenhagen.See more..
Vereint Kultur und historisches Flair in schöner Umgebung. Der Park sah seit Jahrzehnten nicht so gut aus. Das Schloss ist zwar nicht mehr mehr allgemein zugänglich, aber wird von "Grund auf" saniert. Ein Besuch lohnt allemal. Ortsansässige können übrigens ohne Eintritt die Ausstellung besuchen. Freut euch auf die neue Saison! Die Fotos entstanden zu Beginn der neuen Nutzung.See more..
4.5Bischofsresidenz Burg Ziesar(4 reviews) - Museum and chapel of Ziesar castle Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Castles
A friend that lives in Berlin invited me for a drive in the countryside and took us to the Ziesar Bishop’s Castle. The distance from my hotel at Olivaer Platz was just below 100 km and took us well over an hour but we did not rush. We found the place easily as the way to Burg Ziesar was clearly signed. Just before turning down into the parking to the right we got a glimpse to the left of a tower that we later saw, from inside the museum, had a stork’s nest on its top. Ziesar Castle was first mentioned as Ezeri in the foundation papers of the Brandenburg bishopric in 948. During medieval time Ziesar Castle, built atop an earlier Slavic fortification, was the residence of the Brandenburg bishops. The 35 m high keep is the symbol of the residence, visible from far away, with its cupola that looks like a bishop’s mitre. The bishops task was to Christianize the Slavic areas nearby a function that kept on until the sixteenth century. The residence had its own underfloor heating of the time. An open fire was lit in the cellar to heat the floor above. The hot smoke from the fire was led into chimney-flues to heat the upper floors. The castle’s chapel dates back to 1470 and inside you’ll find fully preserved murals that luckily survived centuries of secular use of the castle. The chapel reopened for services around 1952. The bishop’s residence is now a highly interesting museum of Brandenburg's Church and Cultural History of the Middle Ages. The permanent exhibition "Paths to the City of Heaven" opened in May 2005 and tells the story in two ways. One way is the story about the castle and its architecture and its use from Middle Ages until today. The other way is the history of Christianization in Brandenburg and shows the bishops as secular and spiritual leaders in medieval Roman Church.See more..
Die Burg Falkenberg ist mitten im Markt Falkenberg am Fuße des Waldnaabtals. Idylisch gelegen und beindruckend schön restauriert. Leider konnten wir diese nur von Außen besichtigen da eine Führung vorher gesondert organisiert werden muss. Dies werden wir aber noch gelegentlich nachholen. Mit dem Besuch dieser Burg sollte eine Wanderung durch das herrlich idylische Waldnaabtaal und ein Vesper in der historischen Gaststätte Zum Roten Ochsen verbunden werden.See more..
4.0Schloss Reckahn(2 reviews) - A pedagogue in the time the Enlightenment Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Castles
The Reckahn manor house dates from 1713 and is a monument in the village of Reckahn, Brandenburg. The manor house was a mansion of the von Rochow family. Even with the nice renovations you see the results of 45 years of DDR neglect. The manor house has a baroque park with the hereditary burial place of the von Rochow family. The Rochow Museum opened in 2001 and hosts an exhibition about the work of the von Rochow family and school reformer Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow (1734-1805). Friedrich Eberhard is known as pedagogue in the spirit of philanthropism at the time of the Enlightenment. These days the manor house is used as a modest hotel and the conference centre of Potsdam University. The former Reckahn School from 1773 is part of the Rochow Museum and hosts the Reckahn School Museum. There the work of Friedrich Eberhard von Rochow is also presented. The first Reckahn teacher Heinrich Julius Bruns is honoured with a memorial exhibition.See more..
