Charlottenburg Palace is a magnificent testament to Prussian royalty, located in the Charlottenburg district. Originally built as a summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, wife of Elector Frederick III, it was expanded over the 18th century into the largest palace in Berlin. The palace showcases Baroque and Rococo architecture, with grand state apartments, the lavish Golden Gallery, and the Porcelain Cabinet filled with Chinese and Japanese ceramics. The sprawling gardens, designed in French Baroque style, include a belvedere, a mausoleum, and the New Pavilion. Visitors can tour the opulent rooms, stroll through the manicured grounds, and imagine court life under the Hohenzollerns. The palace also houses a collection of paintings and sculptures.
