Domäne Dahlem
This old manor house,
built in 1680, offers a rare
insight into rural life in the
Berlin area 100 years ago.
Next door is a farm with
animals, fields and a veg-
etable garden. This histor-
ical farm is very popular,
not just with city chil-
dren. A small market cre-
ates a genuinely rural
atmosphere, and chil-
dren can try out country
activities such as sowing and
harvesting for themselves, watch
cows being milked and horses
being shooed, and get close to
beehives.
