Schloss Babelsberg

Beautiful castle with an eventful history (not least through the time of the Cold War, since the castle belonged directly to the border area and many parts of the area and the buildings were destroyed). A visit can be combined with countless other sights (e.g. Glienicke Bridge, Klein Glienicke as a former GDR exclave, Teltow Canal and, and, and).

Beautiful park with old oaks. The castle has a freshly renovated facade and the grounds are very well maintained.

Beautifully restored and a wonderful park with a wide network of paths. There are still a number of buildings to maintain, but that will certainly be gradually.

The castle Babelsberg is next to the Flatowturm one of the recommended objects in the park Babelsberg. The park was designed by Prince Pückler-Muskau. Impressive are the beautiful old trees, the view axes and the view over the deep lake. During a visit to Potsdam, the Park Babelsberg as well as the Sanssouci Park should always be planned as a sightseeing destination.

The castle is currently closed. Before you visit it, you should inquire if it is open.

Babelsberg Palace was built as a summer residence for Prince Wilhelm, the future Emperor Wilhelm I and his wife Augusta, who came from the House of Saxony-Weimar, in two phases.

The castle is fantastically located and offers great views over the waters of the area and the Glienicker bridge. There are also many historic sites from the Cold War period nearby. The very rewarding castle park invites you to go for a walk.

Beautiful Pückler Park with always great views. You do not have to go to the castle, just enjoy its sight.

The castle is well worth seeing, but unfortunately closed at the moment. There are several buildings in the park, but the park itself is beautiful.

Babelsberg Castle now shines in its old splendor after the restoration.

Pückler has created this beautiful park and the castle is enthroned in the middle. Numerous paths and trails are available for you to relax and new perspectives are always opening up.

Babelsberg Castle
Babelsberg Palace is the former summer residence of the German Emperor Wilhelm I. It is located in Babelsberg Park in the Babelsberg district of Potsdam and was built in the Tudor style from 1834, based on the English Windsor Castle.
The residence was built in two phases. First, in 1834/35, the eastern area with rooms for Wilhelm and his wife Augusta was built according to plans by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Between 1844 and 1849, according to plans by Ludwig Persius, the western palace complex with ballrooms and rooms for the two children of the princely couple was added.
The castle has been the scene of important historical events. These included a visit by British Queen Victoria in 1858, the appointment of Otto von Bismarck as Prussian Prime Minister in 1862 and the signing of the so-called Socialist Law in 1878. After the death of Wilhelm I in 1888, the palace lost its political and cultural significance. A conversion of the palace into a summer residence for the German Crown Prince Wilhelm, planned by the Prussian Oberhof Baurat Albert Geyer, was rejected in 1908 after the first preparatory building work for cost reasons. After the end of the monarchy, the administration of the Prussian State Palaces and Gardens had the palace converted into a museum in 1927. As such it lasted until the Second World War. During the war years, the comparatively remote palace was considered a safe depot for works of art from other Potsdam residences. It was largely spared from the destruction of war. After being taken by the Red Army, the historical furnishings were confiscated and taken to the Soviet Union as war trophies. Some of the furniture and paintings were not returned in 1958 either.

The castle has been renovated and is now available for events. The park is a wonderful place to relax.

Babelsberg Palace was built as a summer residence for Prince Wilhelm, the future Emperor Wilhelm I and his wife Augusta, who came from the House of Saxony-Weimar, in two phases. It is located in the park of the same name and part of the Brandenburg capital Potsdam. The planning was carried out by the architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius and Johann Heinrich Strack. The conversation between King Wilhelm I and Bismarck took place in the castle and the adjacent park on September 22, 1862, which ended when Bismarck was appointed Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.

Babelsberg Palace is under the administration of the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Berlin-Brandenburg Foundation and as a World Heritage Site within the Potsdam ensemble under the protection of UNESCO. The architecture of Babelsberg Castle was used by Schinkel student Friedrich Hitzig as a model for the construction of Kittendorf Castle (1848–1853) in the Demmin district of Mecklenburg.
