Putbus
The 'White Town' laid out in the 19th century by the Princes of Putbus in a classical style, with its circular square, palace gardens and theatre well preserved.
Putbus is the last of Rügen's princely towns to have been built to a single unified plan. At its centre, the circular square called the Circus is surrounded by a ring of white classical buildings, with an obelisk in the middle. Nearby are the palace gardens in English landscape style, an orangery, stables, and a theatre from 1819 that hosts performances in summer. The town is also one of the starting points of the Crazy Roland, and it can be combined with a visit to Lauterbach Harbour for a half-day tour.
