Schloss Bröllin

In the barn, where 600 beets were grown in the GDR, today there are two dance studios and a cinema hall. In the former piggery - a German-Polish meeting center. In the old grain warehouse - a kitchen with a dining room, in the former distillery - a cafe. Only the palace has still not undergone a general renovation, although it bears a proud name: the International Center for Artistic Research.
The history of Broellin dates back to the 12th century, when it was ruled by the knight Bralin. The historic manor farm has five hectares, with eight buildings with a total usable area of 12,500 square meters. When the GDR was collapsing, agricultural production according to the old model ceased to be profitable. Subsequent LPG facilities were excluded from it and a new user was frantically searched for. The location helped: only 30 km from the Polish border, 40 from Szczecin, and 130 from Berlin. Since 1992, it has been under the care of the Association: "schloss broellin e.V", which was founded by independent theater producers and directors, scenographers, theatrologists, musicians and sociologists, involved in the search for new paths in art. They organize artistic workshops, vernissages, concerts and performances in all fields. Their common goal is to search for links between art, knowledge and social life. From the beginning, they have used their location in the Polish-German border region for artistic exchange between the two countries. For 15 years, they have been closely cooperating with the KANA and PLECIUGA theaters in Szczecin. Every year, they actively participate in the KONTRAPUNKT Festival of Small Theatrical Forms.
