Organ concerts often take place in the castle church.

Prussia's intransigence towards freedom-loving lateral thinkers led the authorities to set up a prison in the cellars of the castle at the beginning of the 19th century. Between 1823 and 1830, so-called “demagogues”, public democrats and critics of the monarchy who were rigorously persecuted after the Carlsbad Resolutions, were imprisoned here. The castle park, laid out as a baroque garden in 1690, is now in the style of the 1960s with numerous sculptures. The Schlosscafé Köpenick is located in a beautiful riverside location and is nice to sit inside and outside.

The Biesdorf Palace and Palace Park in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district are among the most important architectural monuments of the 19th century in Berlin and are a popular destination in the east of the city. You can visit the castle, there are always exhibitions, and there is also a nice café with a good selection of cakes.

Joachim II of Brandenburg, a very contentious man, commissioned the construction of a Renaissance hunting lodge on the island in the Dahme River in 1558. It was likely considerably more imposing and robust than the later Baroque-style palace built by King Frederick I. In the following years, the lodge underwent further expansion and renovations and now houses an interesting museum. The heraldic hall on the second floor is particularly worth a visit. Opening hours and further information can be found here: www.smb.museum/museen-einrichtungen/schloss-koepenick/home/. At the end of the 17th century, a small Baroque garden was laid out south of the lodge. This garden was also repeatedly altered and eventually transformed into the beautiful landscaped park through which you can stroll today.

Unfortunately, the castle no longer exists. A small model is on the site. The castle park has been partially restored.

Köpenick Castle is beautifully surrounded by water in the district of the same name in southeast Berlin. It is the most important preserved castle from the reign of the Hohenzollern family. For the impressive palace, the short trip to the outskirts of Berlin is worthwhile.

Invites you to linger.

Quiet bike course right on the water.
