Schloss Meseberg Castle

Address: Schloss Meseberg, 17268 Meseberg, Germany

Website: https://www.schloss-meseberg.de

Schloss Meseberg is an 18th-century baroque palace north of Berlin in Brandenburg, Germany, set in an estate of parkland and formal gardens. It is the German federal government’s official state guest house.

The palace complex contains reception rooms and conference spaces used for bilateral meetings and official events, and the park provides the estate setting for those functions. Public visits are possible only on limited occasions because of government use.

The estate dates from the baroque period and has been adapted and restored over time to serve as an official guest house; restoration and modern facilities were installed before the site began hosting state visits in the early 21st century.

The palace stands in the village of Meseberg near Gransee in Brandenburg, roughly north of Berlin and reachable by road from the capital in about an hour to 90 minutes depending on traffic.

• State guest house: Since 2004 the site has served as the federal government’s official guest house for state visits and high-level meetings, so public access is restricted during official events.

What to See#

• Main palace: The main baroque palace building and adjoining wings house conference rooms and state reception spaces used for official guest visits and meetings.
• Park and gardens: Surrounding parkland and formal gardens form the estate setting and include walking routes that are opened to visitors on selected days.

From Berlin, take the regional train to Gransee or Neuruppin and then a short taxi or local bus to Meseberg; by car follow the B96 and local roads toward the estate (signs to Schloss Meseberg).

• Tours of the state guest house are limited and often by appointment; check the official government website for visiting days and events.
• Security is strict during official functions - plan around announced state visits to avoid closures.
• Combine with a drive through the Brandenburg countryside; Meseberg is sited in a landscape of lakes and forests.
