New Castle
The New Castle (Neues Schloss) existed only as a ruin for four decades after it was burned out in 1945. However, the once grand neo-renaissance structure has been painstakingly restored over the last few years, and now its approach ramp offers a panoramic view over the lawn towards the east.View panorama: Keep mouse button depressed and drag picture.

The Castle Garden
Approaching from the south, a path skirts a copper beech on its way towards the castle. The venerable tree has witnessed the passage of over 220 years. Opposite, lying idyllically on the banks of the Luciesee lake and hidden behind bushes, is the Castle Garden.View panorama: Keep mouse button depressed and drag picture.

The Eichsee Waterfall
A large foundling stone juts out of the middle of the waterfall, disturbing the carefully created whole. There is a story behind it: when Pückler was again unfaithful to his wife Lucie, she had the stone brought and sunk in the middle of the waterfall as a sign of her displeasure.View panorama: Keep mouse button depressed and drag picture.

Spa complex with Villa Bellevue
Located in the southwest of Pückler's landscaped park, the spa complex began attracting guests to Muskau at the beginning of the 19th century. The guests stayed in magnificent houses and partook of the chalybeate (i.e. containing iron) waters from the Hermannsquelle, which were said to work wonders.View panorama: Keep mouse button depressed and drag picture.
