When the nights get longer, selected palaces, museums, galleries and other cultural institutions invite you to the art and culture nights.

At the Ludwigsluster KUKUNA, idyllic courtyards and historic houses become a stage. Ludwigslust Palace invites you to a guided tour of the palace clock to mark the occasion.

The town of Klütz opens its gates and doors in October for the Klützer KulTOURnacht when night falls. Whether music, painting, literature, fascinating light installations, relaxation, goldsmithing or puppet shows.

The Ludwigslust Castle Christmas in a baroque ambience is something very special. Let yourself be enchanted every year on the third weekend of Advent. One of the highlights is the castle in a blaze of light, and you can also look forward to arts and crafts, all kinds of homemade products and culinary delights from the region.

At the Christmas market in the castle wall in Plau am See, you can marvel at great craftsmanship, music, lots of hands-on activities for young and old and theater of a very special kind.

The Festival Winter of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival unfolds with its Advent and Christmas concerts for musical enjoyment in a historic castle setting.
