A monument opens its doors at the Holy Lake
At Andreae Country House | Daycare "At the Holy Lake" (22|58) in Potsdam, architectural history meets a lively event experience. On September 13, 2026, the listed building on Seestraße 43 will open its doors as part of the Day of Open Monuments, providing insights into a place that has been combining childcare and historical substance for many years.
History that is palpable in the space
The Andreae Country House dates back to 1913/14 and has been listed as a monument since 2003. The building was constructed at the same time as the first plans for Cecilienhof Palace. Today, the daycare "At the Holy Lake" utilizes the house, where many original elements have been preserved. The contrast of everyday life, monument protection, and history shapes the unique atmosphere of the tour.
Guided tour of a house with character
The event is designed as a guided tour / visit. It is open from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with tours starting at 1, 2, 3, and 4 PM and lasting about 45 minutes each. Especially exciting: Original building components are preserved in the former horse stable and are now integrated as a large art studio. This makes the visit not only historically interesting but also atmospherically rich.
Change of location with a short journey
The country house is located in the Berlin suburb of Potsdam, just a few minutes away from other attractions at the Holy Lake. The public transport connection is clearly described: Take tram 92 to Mangerstraße, and then it's about 450 meters on foot. Thus, the event is suitable for visitors who want to discover Potsdam's monument landscape in a relaxed manner.
What visitors can expect
The event experience lives from the rare opportunity to see a monument predominantly used as a daycare from the inside. Those who appreciate historical architecture, authentic spaces, and the quiet elegance of the Holy Lake will experience a striking blend of culture, urban history, and modern use here. A visit is worthwhile for anyone who wants to not just look at Potsdam's monuments but truly experience them.
Conclusion: The Andreae Country House promises a calm, informative, and architecturally appealing Day of Open Monuments. The combination of a historic villa, daycare center, and lovingly preserved details makes the event a special destination for the curious, families, and culture enthusiasts. Anyone who wishes to experience Potsdam's architectural history up close should take this tour live.
