Discover Altlandsberg: City History and Brewing Culture

Altlandsberg combines historic city landmarks with regional brewing culture. A tour with the night watchman, the Berliner Torturm and brewing at the Schlossgut offer several cultural points of interest for your trip. If you’re looking for hotels in Altlandsberg, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.

Altlandsberg: City History and Brewing Culture

On a tour with the night watchman, participants explore the historic town and hear stories about the night watchman’s life. The town wall, houses, the town church and the palace church are also among the topics. The tour thus brings together different places and aspects of the town’s history, rather than focusing on a single building. Private bookings are available for groups. If you’re planning to join the tour, check the available dates in advance.

The Berliner Torturm is the oldest part of Altlandsberg’s medieval town fortifications. The square fieldstone tower is 18 metres high, and its walls date from the 13th century. Today, it serves as an observation tower with views across the old town. This makes it a landmark that brings several aspects together: the fortifications, historic construction methods and views of the town. The tower is a useful point of reference if you’re interested in Altlandsberg’s architectural history.

The brewery at Schlossgut Altlandsberg offers another point of interest: regional beer has been brewed there again since 2016. This adds a craft tradition that continues into the present to the historical themes.
