Redefin State Stud: Guided Tours and Carriage Rides

Advance booking is required for guided tours of Redefin State Stud. The tour of the historic complex takes about 120 minutes. Bear this approximate duration in mind when planning your visit. Would you prefer a carriage ride rather than a guided tour? It lasts about an hour and starts and ends at the entrance to the Landstallmeisterhaus (Chief Stud Director’s House). The two formats therefore differ in duration and in what takes centre stage when planning: a guided tour of the complex or a carriage ride.

The riding hall also has a special place in the State Stud’s events programme. During the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, it becomes a concert hall twice each festival summer, at the historic portal. In addition to tours of the historic complex and carriage rides, concerts are another option, tied to the festival. If you are exploring Redefin with cultural events in mind, you can factor this festival connection into your travel plans.

The Stud Farm Trail: Around 170 Kilometres Through Diverse Landscapes

The Stud Farm Trail begins at the Mecklenburg State Stud in Redefin and is well signposted. Stretching for around 170 kilometres, it passes through varied landscapes between the Griesen Gegend, the UNESCO Flusslandschaft Elbe-Brandenburg Biosphere Reserve in the Prignitz, and the Westhavelland. It extends as far as the Brandenburg Main and State Stud in Neustadt (Dosse). The route thus connects two stud farms as its starting and end points and covers a distance shaped in part by its diverse landscapes. The approximate 170-kilometre distance and the named stops will help you get your bearings if you would like to find out more about the trail. When deciding whether to take the trip, it is important to note that this is not a short circular walk around the State Stud, but a longer route through several specifically named regions.

Redefin Village Church and Its Neo-Gothic Furnishings

Redefin Village Church was built between 1843 and 1847. The Neo-Gothic brick building has a central tower. The church houses the oldest organ in Mecklenburg; in addition, its furnishings from the early Neo-Gothic period have been almost entirely preserved. For those interested in cultural history, this offers several specific points of interest: the period of construction, the Neo-Gothic design, the central tower and the historic organ. The almost completely preserved furnishings offer another perspective on the early Neo-Gothic period, complementing the church’s architectural features. The church therefore offers a different kind of discovery from the State Stud or the long-distance route.
