Just 400 footsteps away from Sanssouci Palace is an ‘Italian hamlet’: the Crown Estate Bornstedt, once a manor of the Prussian Crown. The former manor estate was acquired in the 17th century by Frederick William, the Great Elector. In the 19th century, it became a summer residence of the Prussian royal family, including Crown Prince Frederick William and his wife Victoria.
Since 2002, the extensively restored architectural ensemble has been shining once again in its historic splendor. The site is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Today, the Crown Estate is a unique venue that provides the perfect setting for events of all kinds. Various courtyard festivals, concerts, and markets invite visitors throughout the year.
