This sculpture stands in the middle of the square in front of the villa. It's a great photo opportunity for Transformers fans.

If you visit Storkow (Mark) Castle, you'll find the Visitor Center (BIZ) of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park. In the exhibition, you can discover the natural and cultural history of the region on three levels – the tour begins with the Ice Age and continues to the present day. Historical illustrations and maps await you on the top floor, giving you an insight into the castle's origins. The event series "You and Your Garden in the Nature Park" is particularly exciting, where experienced instructors show you how to care for your garden, make medicinal herbal ointments, or learn more about the garden's animal inhabitants. The staff at the tourist information center have many tips for excursions and discovery tours for you – whether you're traveling alone, with friends, or with family. You can find more information and opening hours here: https://www.dahme-heideseen-naturpark.de/erleben-lernen/info-ausstellung/besucherzentrum-burg-storkow.

The "Little Sanssouci" villa complex consists of a castle-like main building, an outbuilding with a connecting corridor and a park-like villa garden. The miniature version of Potsdam's Sanssouci Palace, built between 1745 and 1747 by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, was built in 1905, 1912 and 1913, and the side wing was added in 1939. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was returned to its original owner, the German Post Office. Today it is privately owned, presumably by a "Transformers" fan. At least that is what the large sculpture in the driveway suggests.

Today, the baroque Kossenblatt Castle stands on the site of a medieval moated castle. Field Marshal and Minister J. A. Reichsgraf von Barfuß had the castle built between 1699 and 1712. However, the field marshal died before the castle was completed and his wife, née Eleonore Countess von Dönhoff, had the castle completed. Theodor Fontane wrote down numerous legends surrounding the family and its wealth. In 1736, King Friedrich Wilhelm I acquired the castle as a retirement home, but only stayed there for a few months until his death in 1740. In the following years the owners of the castle changed frequently and in 1967 the castle was finally restored. The castle is currently privately owned.
