The Museum Estate Gro�koschen, situated immediately at the recreation area Senftenberger Lake, grand's an insight into the farming life of our predecessors. The Vierseitenhof (form of farmhouse) so typical for the Niederlausitz, from the year 1864 houses over 1200 historical agricultural equipment. Visitors can follow the production of linen, from sowing of the flax to�weaving of the cloth and visit the grits-mill from 1820.

Special attractions for children are the numerous animals. Sheep, pigs, horses, pigeons - everything that is associated with a farm can be seen here. Maybe you are lucky and our domestic animals just had their babies, which try their first steps on the farm. If you want to lend a hand, you are welcome to do some corn threshing or mill the grains. And at the end you can try our homemade bread, fresh from the old stone-oven.
