📷 Charlottenhof Villa
Charlottenhof Palace, nestled in the heart of Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, is a neoclassical gem designed by the renowned architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Commissioned by Crown Prince Frederick William, later King Frederick William IV of Prussia, the palace was constructed between 1826 and 1829 on the foundations of an older estate. It stands as a testament to the architectural elegance of the era and the personal tastes of the Crown Prince, who took an active role in the design process, earning the playful nickname "Siam House architect" for his efforts.
