About KunstTour Caputh

The KunstTour Caputh is perhaps Brandenburg's most charming art route: For two weekends in late summer and early autumn, artists open their studios, gardens, and galleries in Caputh and the municipality of Schwielowsee, south of Potsdam. At the Caputh Art Market by the castle, selected exhibitors present paintings, sculptures, photography, and installations, while parallel performances by the "Kunstmucker" (art performers) and hands-on workshops turn the event into a family program. Free admission.

Caputh and Caputh Castle

Caputh is a district of the municipality of Schwielowsee in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, located on Caputher See between Templiner See and Schwielowsee. The town is known for the baroque Caputh Castle – the summer residence of the Great Elector – and for the summer house where Albert Einstein spent the summers from 1929 to 1932. The ensemble of castle park, lake, village center, and artist scene makes Caputh one of the most attractive day trip destinations from Berlin and Potsdam.

Format with Two Weekends

The KunstTour Caputh follows a format that has grown over the years: Two weekends, each Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., during which over ten venues in Caputh and the surrounding area showcase art. The central hub is the Caputh Art Market on the Schlossplatz, a curated market with selected vendors. In addition, Villa San Vitale, the Schlossgalerie Haape, several private studios, and community centers open their spaces.

Kunstmucker, Workshops, and Family Program

The "Kunstmucker" – a collective of artists and performers – create live performances, small theater formats, and interactive activities for families. Pottery workshops, children's art activities, and improvisation theater complement the program, making the KunstTour more than just an exhibition – a landscape of workshops.

KulturForum Schwielowsee

The organizer is KulturForum Schwielowsee e.V., supported by the municipality of Schwielowsee and the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark. The 2026 edition will be the 19th in the series – an indication of the format's established place in Brandenburg's cultural calendar.

Free Admission

Admission to the studio locations and the art market is free. Only food and drinks at the market stalls, and possibly participation in individual workshops, are paid for on-site.
