Schloss Lübben

Schloss Lübben is a castle on the Spree River in Lübben with white walls, a red roof, and four corner towers forming a rectangular layout. The building contains exhibition areas on the ground and first floors where visitors can explore various collections.

The castle was first documented in 1150 in records from Nienburg Abbey and was long held by various Saxon dukes and Bohemian administrators. Its current appearance developed through several changes of ownership and rebuilding until it took its present form in 1815.

The castle now serves as a regional museum where visitors see objects and documents that show the history of Lower Lusatia. The collection gives insight into the lives and development of this area across many centuries.

The castle is open to visitors and offers guided tours as well as self-guided exploration of the exhibitions. The best time to visit depends on your preference for crowds and whether you want a guided experience or to explore independently.

The castle basement contains medieval prison cells with stone walls that preserve original inscriptions left by former inmates. These preserved markings offer glimpses into the lives of those who were held there.
