The Hermitage in the New Garden

The hermitage on Jungfernsee in Potsdam, also known as the Hermitage, was built in 1796 by the master builder Carl Gotthard Langhans and J. G. Brendel on behalf of Friedrich Wilhelm II in the New Garden on the Jungfernsee.
The small wooden pavilion had no windows and was lit only by an opening in the roof. The floor was laid out in white Italian marble, with the center of the room decorated with a world map of marble inlays. The interior was decorated with plaster figures and the ceiling was decorated with figurative depictions of the eight planets.
The hermitage on Jungfernsee was demolished in 1964 because of the construction of the Berlin Wall. However, the interior could be almost completely saved and was stored by the locks management. In 1995, the restoration of the Hermitage began on the preserved pedestal floor.

The hermitage on Potsdam's Jungfernsee is located directly between Glienicker Brücke and Meierei directly on the Jungfernsee.
