Initially known as the Lietzenburg Palace, it was originally built as the summer residence of Sophie Charlotte, the younger sister of George Louis of Hanover, the future George I of Great Britain.
This stunning complex of buildings in the baroque style is Berlin’s largest and most magnificent palace.
Heavily damaged during WWII it was extensively rebuilt during the 1950s and remains one of Berlin’s cultural highlights.
