Burg Beeskow

Burg Beeskow is a castle in Beeskow featuring a prominent tower about 30 meters (98 feet) high with an observation platform overlooking the town and landscape. The castle contains exhibition spaces, a café-restaurant, and a museum dedicated to historical musical instruments.

The castle was first documented in 1316 as a knight's fortress. It later served as a bishop's residence before returning to Hohenzollern control.

The castle serves as a cultural center displaying rotating exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, and graphic works within its rooms. Visitors encounter contemporary and historical art throughout the castle spaces.

The castle is located at Frankfurter Straße 23 and is accessible through guided tours of the medieval rooms. Wear sturdy shoes as there are stairs and uneven ground throughout the property.

The Music Museum houses hundreds of instruments from the 1800s, including orchestrions and automatic pianos. These rare mechanical music devices show a forgotten technology from before electronic equipment existed.
