View of Babelsberg Palace

The philosophy of Lenne's garden architecture can be wonderfully observed here. The buildings serve to brighten up the landscape, and if you walk towards them, they are initially partially hidden behind trees and bushes. This creates tension when you go for a walk.

The Tudor style of Babelsberg Castle is more beautiful to me than Sancoussi

Babelsberg Palace is the former summer residence of the German Emperor William I. It is located in Babelsberg Park in the Babelsberg district of Potsdam and was built in Tudor style from 1834, based on the English Windsor Castle. The residence was built in two phases. First, the eastern area with rooms for Wilhelm and his wife Augusta was built in 1834/35 based on designs by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Between 1844 and 1849, according to plans by Ludwig Persius, the western palace complex was added with ballrooms and rooms for the prince couple's two children. The castle was the scene of important historical events. These included, among other things, a visit by the 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.
