Paretz Palace

Highlight • Castle

Queen Luise and her family regularly spent the summer months in Paretz Palace and Park. They turned their backs on courtly life in Berlin for a few months a year and enjoyed the peaceful and almost bourgeois life in the country. The complex was built with high aesthetic standards: the palace and park were intended to be a royal country seat and a prime example of Prussian rural architecture.

You can see for yourself how extraordinarily successful the implementation of the plans is when you visit the castle and the park. You can find the opening hours and further information here: spsg.de/schloesser-gaerten/objekt/schloss-park-paretz.

Gothic House Paretz

Highlight • Cafe

The Gothic House Paretz was formerly a royal blacksmith's shop and is located
on the edge of the English park laid out by court gardener David Garmatter –
opposite the palace and church. The restaurant's facade easily recognizes the Gothic windows that adorn the Paretz village church.
The Gothic House was also designed on David Gilly's drawing boards.

Only, its intended use was different at the time of the laying of the foundation stone in 1796.

With its neo-Gothic pointed window façade, the building is one of the most beautiful houses in the Havelland region. It was a blacksmith's shop and partly a restaurant.

After 1918, the village blacksmith's shop was completely restored.
