Branitz Palace

The living world of Prince Pückler
The Palace – a real gem

Edged like a precious gem by the gardens of the Pleasure Ground, Branitz Palace lies at the heart of the park landscape. The late baroque Palace, once the mansion of his ancestors, was extensively rebuilt by Prince Pückler from 1846 onwards. The elaborately designed interiors give an impression of the unusual life of Prince Pückler, who today is probably known to most people as the eponym of an ice cream creation. In reality, Prince Pückler was one of the most exciting persons of the 19th century, known as a successful writer, Oriental traveller, dandy, womanizer, witty companion and lover of exquisite food.

Branitz Park

Pückler’s masterpiece
From desert to oasis

In Branitz near Cottbus, where there used to be a barren sandy desert, the eccentric 60-year-old Hermann Prince of Pückler-Muskau once again laid out an English landscape park, which he himself described as his masterpiece. The park was created from 1846 onwards, after Pückler had to sell his estate in Muskau.

With its finely curved earth modellings, elegantly guided lake and water courses and designed wood compositions, Branitz Park is considered the pinnacle of the development of landscape gardening art and is a landmark of international standing. Along with Peter Joseph Lenné and Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, Prince Pückler is one of the most famous German garden architects of the 19th century.

The Fürst-Pückler-Park Branitz is a landscape park in Branitz designed by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau from 1846 onwards and the most important of Cottbus' parks. The park landscape is considered the last significant English landscape park on the continent. Branitz Castle, Prince Pückler's ancestral home, is located at the centre of the 622-hectare zoned landscape garden. The landmarks of the park are the two earth pyramids - the land pyramid and the lake pyramid, also known as the tumulus, which Prince Pückler staged as his final resting place.
