Fürst Pückler Park Bad Muskau »

The so-called New Castle was finally opened to the public in 2008 and now many of the rooms shine with either restored or new glory. The castle houses a permanent exhibition on the life and work Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, and the tower offers spectacular views of the park.

Would you like some help planning your trip here? Or are you thinking about coming on holiday? The Tourism Centre in the west wing of the New Castle has all the information you need.

Muskauer Park provides an ideal backdrop for your wedding. The Orangery, the New Castle, and the Old Castle are approved to hold civil marriages. The Standesamt in Bad Muskau is the designated register office for marriages in Muskauer Park.

Cycling is expressly allowed in Muskauer Park, and is an excellent way of discovering the extensive landscaped gardens. Bikes are available for hire in the estate farm buildings.

The Muskauer Park Tourism Centre regularly conducts tours through the landscaped gardens - simply join in! If you are coming as part of a large group, book a tour in advance especially for your group.

Pückler recommended his visitors take a carriage ride to see Muskauer Park. Why not take his advice?

Experience Muskauer Park from the water.

How about trying a Pückler Eis? The forerunner of Baked Alaska was named in Prince Hermann's honour and is today carefully handmade in the café located in the former estate farm buildings.

Muskau stoneware was a highly coveted local product for centuries, and you can get an impression of this tradition today in Gordon Gran's pottery in the former farm estate buildings. His typically dark blue and vivid yellow-brown pieces are handmade and highly prized throughout the region.
