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.
