Belonging to the group of three Stele castles, Friedland Castle was also part of the possession of the Knights of Strele. The roots of this oldest Lusatian dominion can be found in the castle county of Strehla on the Elbe in Saxony.
In addition to the two Strele castles of Beeskow and Storkow, the castle in the tranquil Friedland
has an impressive and surprising history and is one of the best preserved castles in Brandenburg.

In the lovingly furnished museum apartment, familiar images are revived on the basis of 100 years of living culture. Our exhibitions of native animals and historical objects of everyday life are especially vivid for children.
 
While walking through the gallery you will encounter art and culture in exhibitions of different art styles that change several times a year and perhaps our legendary "White Lady". We also offer guided tours of the castle. For group tours we ask for your prior request, likewise for city tours through Friedland.
