The "Altranft Castle" is a Brandenburg manor house. During the Thirty Years' War, the manor house is said to have partially fallen into disrepair, but it was then restored and renewed in 1670 as the Baroque building, which can still be recognized today as essentially the rear part of the complex. In 1876 it was provided with a considerably larger extension by Count Edwin Carl Wilhelm von Hacke.
Today, the castle is the central exhibition building of the Oderbruch Museum. How the rooms have generally changed in the years from 2016 to 2020, you can see in this photo documentation by Uli Seifert-Stühr and Michael Anker.
The individual rooms and what has taken place in them, we present them in their own contributions. In the whole tour we give again and again small impulses to deal with the Oderbruch also playfully - be it by simple wooden building blocks (a leftover from our annual theme BUILDING), be it by a farmer's casino (annual theme agriculture) or by an Oderbruch puzzle, which you can also buy in the museum store.
