Schloss Neuhaus, Manor house in Steinkirchen, Lübben, Germany
Schloss Neuhaus is a classical manor house in Steinkirchen near Lübben featuring architectural elements from the Biedermeier period. The building contains representative rooms and now functions as a venue for events and concerts, while also housing the district music school of Dahme-Spreewald.
Kurt Friedrich Wilhelm Leopold von Loeben built this manor house in 1802 to replace an earlier residence on the property. Ownership later passed to poet Christoph Ernst von Houwald, who transformed it into an important cultural center.
The manor served as a gathering place for writers and poets who came here for intellectual conversations and creative exchange. This role as a literary hub has shaped the character of the house over time.
The manor regularly hosts events, concerts, and exhibitions that are open to visitors. Planning your visit around scheduled events or concerts makes the experience more rewarding.
The manor is now home to the project 'Póchad: Łužyca - Herkunft: Lausitz', which promotes regional cultural exchange between Germany and the Sorbian community. Visitors can attend readings by Sorbian writers like Róža Domašcyna and discover a lesser-known cultural perspective of the region.
