Built in 1837 by Carl Ferdinand Langhans, the Altes Palais stands as a striking neoclassical structure on Berlin's grand boulevard Unter den Linden. Initially designed as a residence for Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, it now houses the Faculty of Law at Humboldt University. The building was reconstructed in the 1960s after being destroyed in World War II.
