The historical park Alt Madlitz (castle park), which extends behind the castle (manor house), is the oldest English landscape park in Brandenburg, which was created from 1772. The park was created by Friedrich Ludwig Karl Finck von Finckenstein. A tour of the park is worthwhile.

First mentioned in the 13th century, Count Finck von Finckenstein acquired the Alt-Madlitz castle estate in 1751. However, the educator of the Prussian kings Friedrich Wilhelm II and Frederick II did not stay there often. It was his son Friedrich Ludwig Karl who first developed the estate into a true court of the muses. Celebrities such as Ludwig Tieck, Achim von Arnim, Wilhelm von Humboldt and Clemens Brentano regularly visited there.

Friedrich Ludwig Karl himself developed the plans for the extensive park that extends directly behind the manor house. Cleverly designed visual axes lined with large oak and chestnut trees characterize the oldest English landscape garden in Brandenburg. Finckenstein loved his park so much that he buried his heart there, surrounded by thirteen field stones symbolizing the number of his children.

Unfortunately, when we visited in March 2024, all the ponds and even the large lake were almost completely silted up, but it is still worth a walk.

The Schloss Alt Madlitz is a manor house from the 18th century. The estate was first mentioned in 1373.

In GDR times, the building housed a kindergarten and was unfortunately neglected. After the turnaround, the original owner returned and renovated the property.

The castle garden is definitely worth seeing.
