Künstlerhaus Schloss Wiepersdorf

The Künstlerhaus Schloss Wiepersdorf is a literary institute in Germany housed in a stately manor house.[1][2] Originally the manor house was the home of Ludwig Achim von Arnim and Bettina von Arnim, well-known figures from Germany's Romantic Period. After their deaths the future role the manor house was unclear, but eventually it was decided to turn it into a literary institute, where leading scholars and writers would receive grants for extended stays, where they could have creative exchanges with other scholars and writers.

The institute is in Brandenburg, south of Berlin.[1][2]

The institute offers book readings, exhibitions, concerts, and other events, for the General public.[1] It also houses a museum, commemorating the Von Arnims, and their role in Germany's literary history.
