Schloss Reckahn

Schloss Reckahn is a baroque manor in Kloster Lehnin with three sections and classical pilaster decorations on its windows. The building now houses a museum that shows the Enlightenment period and its significance.

The manor was built between 1726 and 1730 by Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Rochow and replaced an older Renaissance building. The design followed baroque principles and made the estate a center of Enlightenment ideas.

The museum inside tells the story of the Enlightenment and reforms in education that shaped Prussia. Visitors can learn how these ideas changed the way people thought and lived at that time.

The rooms are easily accessible on foot and well organized with information signs and displays. Plan time to explore the different exhibition areas and the grounds around the manor.

In the entrance gallery stand busts of thinkers who shaped Prussia's school system during the Enlightenment. These portraits remind visitors of the important figures whose educational reforms were lived and taught here.
