Behind you, the Spree River whispers its ancient stories, and far off you might glimpse the palace's grand domes. Look up to admire the elegant façade, a perfect blend of Baroque and Classical styles. This building once served as a lookout tower. Royal guests would gaze over the vast beauty of the gardens from here. Did you know King Frederick William II personally commissioned it?
