Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place that has stood the test of time for nearly two centuries. Look up – the water tower rises majestically before you, crafted by the talented Friedrich Ludwig Persius. To your left, the gardener's house blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Did you know that this tower was once part of a sophisticated water distribution system? It supplied the surrounding gardens and Glienicke Palace, which you can spot to the south. Through the trees, you might catch a glimpse of the palace's spire, another historical gem reflecting the grandeur of its era. The best time to be here is when the sun sets low, casting a warm glow on these ancient stones.
