Schloss Britz

The estate is part of the wider Schloss and Gutshof Britz cultural site, which also includes grounds, a farmyard, and other cultural programming. [1]

Regular admission is 5 EUR, reduced admission is 3 EUR, and children under 12 enter free in the price check on 2026-08-02. [1]

The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays from 12:00 to 18:00, and advance reservations can be made by telephone for some visits. [1]

The building is wheelchair accessible, and the official page gives Alt-Britz 73 as the address. [1]

UNVERIFIED estimate: allow 60 to 120 minutes for the house and exhibition, with more time if the grounds or Gutshof programme are included. [1]

The listed museum hours are 12:00 to 18:00 from Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays, with Monday closed. [1]

The special exhibition “Schatzsuche | Die magische Zeitreise” runs from 2026-03-31 to 2026-08-31, while “Von Tieren und anderen Menschen” runs from 2026-06-27 to 2026-09-27. [1]

The site suits visitors interested in domestic history, architecture, exhibitions, and family programming. [1]

People wanting a free indoor museum should note that the castle exhibition requires a ticket, although children under 12 are free. [1]

Most of the original furnishings were lost, so the current rooms use period furniture assembled after the building’s later public use. [1]

The 2026 programme includes a time-travel treasure hunt for families and a special exhibition about animals and people. [1]

Samuel von Chwalkowski held the estate in 1699, and a stone manor house was recorded there at that time. [1]

Wilhelm Julius Wrede bought the estate in 1865, and architect Carl Busse remodelled the house in a neo-Renaissance style in 1880. [1]

The Wrede heirs sold the estate to Berlin in 1924, and the building served as a refugee home from 1945 to 1953 before becoming a children’s home. [1]

The house was restored from 1985 to 1988, and the Kulturstiftung Schloss Britz has run its cultural programme since 1989. [1]
