Brunow can be viewed from two different perspectives: the layout of the circular village shapes its appearance, while the open farmyards and other activities were part of the village flea market in 2025. When planning a stay, you can distinguish between a lasting feature of the village and a one-time event.
A village layout formed by 18 hedgerows
The circular village has 18 radially arranged hedgerows. They are up to 1.4 kilometres long and create its characteristic “cake-shaped” layout. Their number, arrangement, and maximum length make the spatial structure easy to grasp. If you would like to get to know a destination through its shape and layout, Brunow’s village plan offers a clear starting point.
Half-timbered church and ring road
Brunow’s old half-timbered church is completely encircled by the ring road. During the 2025 village flea market, the ring road became a festival zone. Here, a lasting feature of the village coincided with its use as part of a specific event.
The church in Brunow belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Brunow-Muchow parish. The parish invites visitors to services and other events. Before attending a specific event, check when and where it will take place.
What was part of the 2025 village flea market
During the 2025 Brunow village flea market, seven farmyards and gardens around the ring road and on Ziegendorfer Straße were open to visitors. Some of the open farmyards and gardens offered coffee, cake, and cold drinks, as well as places to sit. Refreshments were therefore part of the event programme, but were not listed as an offering at every farmyard.
Brunow’s playground also offered space to play and climb during the market. The Brunow farm shop was included in the market programme and hosted a special exhibition of paintings by the late Renate Niethammer. If you are planning to visit Brunow specifically for a future market, check before travelling whether a suitable date has been announced and when it will take place.
More cultural highlights in the wider destination of Ludwigslust-Parchim
In the wider destination of Ludwigslust-Parchim, you can explore a range of cultural and historical highlights. Ludwigslust Palace was the former residence of the Mecklenburg dukes. Together with its park and the town, it forms an ensemble known as the “Little Versailles of the North.” The palace stands at the centre of an almost completely preserved late Baroque town complex, with a former court church and an English-style landscape park. The palace also presents art and courtly domestic culture from the 18th and early 19th centuries.
Another highlight is Dömitz Fortress. Its museum covers the history of the fortress and town, the history of the Elbe, harbour, and bridges, Fritz Reuter, and special and art exhibitions. The citadel is a pentagonal Renaissance fortress built on the Italian model, with bastions, casemates, and a drawbridge. If you are planning a visit to see a particular exhibition, it is a good idea to check current offerings in advance.
At Zarrentin Monastery, guided tours explore the history of the former Cistercian nunnery, the lives of the nuns, and the building’s architecture. The ground floor also houses a permanent exhibition about the monastery.
