A popular pastime among the courtly elite in the 17th and 18th centuries was the game of mail. In France—during the reign of Louis XIV—this “ball-striking” game was the pastime of the nobility. Flat mail courts were built specifically for this purpose, lined with tree-lined avenues that provided shade. Later, the similarly played game of “croquet” on the lawn became popular among the common people.

Also popular in the 18th century were skittles and the game of “Blinde Kuh” (blind man’s buff), which is still often played today. But where does the name “Blinde Kuh” come from? Game enthusiasts can learn this and much more at the castle and in the castle gardens of Königs Wusterhausen.Translated with DeepL
