What it is
Rheinsberg is one of the 31 towns in Brandenburg with a protected historic centre: whole streets of low one- and two-family houses from the mid-18th century. On the church square stands St Lawrence's, begun in stone in the second half of the 13th century, and beside it the former fire station, now the ceramics museum, which tells more than 260 years of local pottery. Two manufactories still work here, and the Keramik Haus, a few minutes' walk away, is a large ceramics shop.
When to go
Any day, before or after the palace. On the second weekend of October comes the Töpfermarkt, with potters from all over Germany and abroad selling pieces in the street.
