The story and the exhibition topics

The Jagdschloss Schorfheide was built around 1680 by the great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm. The permanent exhibition "hunting and power" addresses the history of hunting and its close connection to the Prussian kings and Germans. In addition, the exhibition highlights the upheavals from the Weimar Republic to the Nazi dictatorship and the recent past until the turning point. The interior design over two floors surprises visitors with fascinating gaze axes and modern elements such as video projections and an extensive audio installation that staged the different epochs in an exciting way.

A tour of the castle shows not only historical trophies, but also the variety of the surrounding Biosphere Reserve Schorfheide-Chorin.
