This later work by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau is one of Germany's most beautiful landscaped gardens. Laid out in the English style and divided into a number of different areas, this landscaped park is of international significance.

A masterpiece of horticultural design
This country park of international importance features winding walkways, gently rolling hills, sweeping plains, picturesque ponds and decorative sculptures. A later work by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, it offers a remarkable combination of landscaped gardens and wide open spaces. Two striking pyramids blend in aesthetically with the surrounding countryside - one of which is the prince's final resting place.

Cottbus has a number of museums and galleries worth visiting. These include the Prince Pückler Museum, which illustrates the eccentric nobleman's way of life, and the Wendish Museum, which gives visitors an insight into the culture and history of the Sorbs and Wends of Lusatia.

The Brandenburg Art Collections (including a collection of photography and poster art) are an absolute must for any art lover. The State Theatre is the perfect example of late art nouveau architecture and offers a dazzling array of sophisticated productions and concerts.
