Caputh House
To the info page of the venue
Less than 10 kilometers from Potsdam, Caputh House is located on the banks of the Havel River. This early Baroque building is the only surviving palace building in the Potsdam cultural landscape that represents the era of the Great Elector, Frederick William of Brandenburg. His second wife, Dorothea, had Caputh expanded into a luxurious summer residence after 1671. The small country house is best known for its unique Tile Room, which Frederick William I (the Soldier King) had installed around 1720 with more than 7,500 Dutch tiles. The original ceiling decorations with paintings and stuccowork are preserved in nearly all of the living quarters of the Electress Dorothea. The house interiors are designed with magnificent paintings, lacquer furniture and faience.

We offer a fixed group price that depends on a maximum number of participants. This price includes entry to the respective palace for the group as well as, depending on availability, a personal guided tour, an audio guide tour, or the use of an app via a personal technical device (e.g., smartphone).
If the number of participants exceeds the maximum limit for the program, the group will be divided. Each subgroup will be allocated a specific entry time, and the group price will be calculated accordingly per subgroup. For some palaces, an additional fee is offered for the second entry time slot, up to a certain number of persons. This fee cannot be booked separately.
There is no minimum number of participants for a group booking. Programs can be offered in various languages, including personal tours in German and English, as well as the use of audio guides and tours in the SANSSOUCI app with additional language versions. Further information about the tours and language versions can be found in the current group price list.
If groups are accompanied by a licensed tour guide from the SPSG, a 10% discount is granted on the group package price. This discount does not apply to group bookings with an audio guide. Special openings for groups are possible upon request outside the regular opening hours of the palaces. The price for a special opening consists of the group price, a special opening fee, and, if applicable, additional personnel costs.
All information is subject to availability and changes. Group prices are only valid in conjunction with the General Terms and Conditions for Groups of the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg. All prices mentioned are exempt from VAT according to § 4 No. 20a UStG.
