To make a day of it
Schloss Wiesenburg stands in Wiesenburg/Mark (Landkreis Potsdam-Mittelmark), in Brandenburg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Wiesenburg Castle stands at the edge of the Hoher Fläming nature park, south of the village centre of Wiesenburg/Mark. Its origins trace back to a twelfth century stronghold founded by Albert the Bear, destroyed by fire in the sixteenth century and rebuilt in Renaissance style. Its present neo-Renaissance appearance dates from nineteenth century alterations carried out under the von Watzdorf family. The surrounding landscape park is open to the public, while the castle buildings themselves, now converted into private residences and offices, are not open for museum-style visits.
