The manor house with its park and St. Martin's Church give Hornow a historic character; SchokoLadenLand Hornow includes a petting zoo. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Hornow-Wadelsdorf, you can use these themes as a starting point and consider whether architectural history or chocolate-related attractions should shape your stay.
Manor House and St. Martin's Church
The manor house with its park at SchulstraĂźe 33 in Hornow is listed in the monument register of the State of Brandenburg. The edition of the register is dated January 1, 2025. St. Martin's Church in Hornow was built in the 13th century. The two dates serve different purposes: the 13th century indicates when the church was built, while January 1, 2025 dates the edition of the monument register. This makes it possible to place the church's construction history in context without mistaking the register's publication date for the manor house's construction year.
Chocolate Attractions and Other Highlights
SchokoLadenLand Hornow includes a petting zoo. SchokoLadenLand also offers an interactive demonstration workshop. The two details highlight different aspects: one focuses on animals, the other on taking part in a demonstration workshop. As visitor offerings may change, check the latest information about operations before making plans.
Felicitas holds annual Easter painting events using a wax-resist technique in keeping with Sorbian tradition. If you are planning your visit around this event, check the latest dates in advance. The Felicitas Café serves Felicitas chocolate cakes and homemade ice cream. Alongside architectural history and the workshop, the highlights mentioned therefore also include a recurring Easter event and sweet treats.
Spremberg: Town and Countryside in the Wider Destination
The wider destination of Spremberg offers town history, a museum and nature. Spremberg lies in the green valley of the Spree and at the heart of Lusatia. The Lower Lusatian Heath Museum is located in Spremberg Castle. Its exhibits cover the history of the region, as well as documents about the life and work of the writer Erwin Strittmatter, who was born in Spremberg. The museum is largely accessible: visitors with mobility impairments and parents with strollers can enter the building step-free via the inner courtyard; an easily accessible lift serves all exhibition levels.
As early as the 11th century, an early German tower castle was built on the site of today's Spremberg Castle to protect the crossing over the Spree. The narrow streets in the center around the market are lined with town houses, shops, cafés and restaurants. The Sonntagsche House is considered the town's oldest residential building. Town tours are also available to explore local history and can be booked directly with the guides. A bookable historical tour presents the story of Jutta von Kittlitz and Seyfried von Loeben in a portrayal set in the late 11th century.
The weekly market is also part of town life: it takes place twice a week and offers fresh produce as well as an opportunity to connect with local people. If you plan to visit the market, check the latest schedule beforehand. For views across the town, Bismarck Tower in Spremberg Town Park has two observation platforms overlooking the town in the Spree Valley. The European long-distance footpath E10 passes through the town park by the fountain, the lapidarium and Sängerblick.
The small Slamener Kuthen nature park in Spremberg preserves a section of the natural Spree floodplain and is part of the Slamer Heide landscape conservation area. The completed part of NABU's plan includes the Nature–Experience–Energy hiking trail and a short trail through the Kuthen ancient woodland. Numerous plant and animal species on the Red List can be found in the Kuthen ancient woodland. These details add a distinct natural area to the urban picture of Spremberg; they describe Spremberg, not Hornow-Wadelsdorf.
