Klosterplatz 4, Architectural heritage monument in central Cottbus, Germany.
Klosterplatz 4 is a protected architectural structure in central Cottbus that dates to 1752 and represents the architecture of the Brandenburg region. The Kreisstockhaus stands near Puschkinpark and displays the traditional building elements characteristic of that era and area.
The structure was built in 1752 and served as a prison for many years, representing an important part of Cottbus's administrative history. This use ended eventually, but the walls from that period have been preserved to this day.
The building forms part of a restored architectural ensemble near Klosterkirche that shows typical construction methods of the region. You can see how 18th-century architecture has been combined with modern restoration approaches.
The location is central to Cottbus and easy to reach on foot, especially if you come from Oberkirche. Nearby parking is available, such as at Zimmerstraße or Neustädter Platz, if you prefer to arrive by car.
The building has preserved its walls from 1752 to this day, even though many parts of Cottbus were completely transformed during the 20th century. This continuity makes it a rare example of the city's original structures.
