Charlottenburg is the largest and most important palace complex in Berlin of the former Brandenburg electors, Prussian kings and German emperors.

Built by Elector Friedrich III in 1699 as a summer palace for his wife Sophie Charlotte, it’s framed by a baroque-style garden.

It was one of the favourite residences of the Hohenzollern family, who over the course of two centuries had individual rooms designed, redesigned and elegantly furnished, while devoting equal attention to the gardens.

After ascending the throne in 1740, Frederick the Great had Charlottenburg Palace expanded. Among its highlights are the White Hall and the opulent Golden Gallery considered some of the most beautiful Rococo interiors in Europe.
