Our recommendations: the New Palace and the Belvedere on the Pfingstberg.

The construction of the New Palace began in 1763, after the end of the Seven Years’ War, under Frederick the Great, and was completed in 1769. It is regarded as the last major Baroque palace complex in Prussia. Frederick did not intend it as a royal residence, but rather as a palace for guests of his court. Emperor Wilhelm II later made the New Palace his summer residence. Even today, for example, the bedroom of the imperial couple can still be visited.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site Belvedere on the Pfingstberg is an insider tip offering a breathtaking view over Potsdam’s palace and lake landscape. Despite its impressive architecture, this gem is unfortunately little known. Admission included!
