Facts and practical information

Schönhausen Palace, a historical gem nestled in the northern part of Berlin, Germany, is a testament to the city's regal past. This baroque palace, with its elegant architecture and storied history, offers visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of the Prussian kingdom.

Built in the mid-17th century, Schönhausen Palace served as the summer residence for the wife of Frederick II, Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. It later became the primary residence of Queen Elisabeth Christine and saw many royal festivities and significant events. The palace's design and decor reflect the opulence of the era, with ornate interiors, sprawling gardens, and intricate detailing.

After World War II, Schönhausen Palace played a role in the political landscape of East Germany, hosting state guests and serving as a conference center. The palace has been carefully restored to preserve its historical significance and architectural beauty.

Today, Schönhausen Palace is open to the public and offers tours that take visitors through the lavishly furnished rooms and the beautifully landscaped gardens that surround the property. The palace is also a venue for cultural events and exhibitions, providing a unique setting that combines history with the arts.
