Ribbeck: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Ribbeck’s historic village center can be explored via a signposted tour of the village’s history, based on Theodor Fontane’s 1889 poem about the pear tree. The ensemble includes the castle, the church, the Old School, and the rectory garden.

Culture

The village church offers guided tours. The summer program includes changing exhibitions and concerts; the stump of the pear tree described by Fontane has been preserved at the church entrance.

Ribbeck Castle is a former neo-Baroque residence of the von Ribbeck family and houses the Fontane Museum, which opened in 2019.

Family

The freely accessible historic rectory garden includes an orchard meadow, covered arcades, herb beds, flowers and pear trees, as well as a garden for cultural gatherings and children’s play.

At the Marienhof children’s farm, families can feed and touch farm animals, play, and use a corn maze or a barefoot trail. The Old School also features a preserved historic classroom, café seating by the village green, bicycle rental, and pedal go-karts.

Cuisine

The historic washhouse combines a café, a farm shop, and a small integrated museum, and is known for its pear cakes.
