Charlottenburg Palace is today by far the most impressive castle complex of the Brandenburg Electors, Prussian kings and German emperors in Berlin.

Originally, the Elector Frederick I gave his wife in 1694 the lands in Lietze, as the village was called at the time. She immediately had a small castle built to serve as her residence. When the queen died at the tender age of 36 in 1705, the widowed king renamed the castle and adjacent village in her honor in Charlottenburg.

Larger alterations to the castle then took place under her grandson King Friedrich II and her great-grandson Frederick William II. The castle is still in perfect condition today Read the style well.

When Sophie Charlotte died in 1705, the castle and the nearby village received their name. With the death of King Frederick I in 1713, the construction work was stopped and only continued under Frederick the Great in 1740.

With its orangery, palace park and outbuildings, Charlottenburg Palace is the largest palace complex in Berlin. It has been rebuilt and expanded many times over the course of history and is a condensed example of the development of contemporary taste.

Charlottenburg Palace was built between 1695 and 1699 based on designs by the architect J. Arnold Nering. It was initially intended as a small garden and pleasure palace for the wife of Elector Frederick III, Sophie Charlotte. After Charlottenburg Palace was badly damaged in the Second World War, restorers needed over two decades to rebuild it.

The palace can be visited as a museum.
