Schloss Britz, Manor house in Neukölln, Germany
Schloss Britz is a two-story manor house in Berlin-Neukölln built in Neo-Renaissance style. A distinctive tower was added during major renovations in the 1800s, and the building sits within a roughly 1.8-hectare park.
A minister named Samuel von Chwalkowski had the manor built in 1706 after purchasing the estate from the Britzke family. Over time it became an important residence for Prussian nobility.
The name comes from the Britzke family whose estate once occupied this land. Today visitors can walk through rooms furnished as they were in earlier times and experience how residents lived in this space.
The manor offers exhibitions about local history and a park with walking paths. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and arrive early to explore the rooms at a relaxed pace, especially on warm days when the park fills up.
The park contains one of Germany's oldest robinia trees, planted in 1719. This unusual tree species fascinates nature lovers and adds botanical history to the garden.
