Schloss Charlottenburg
The construction of Schloss Charlottenburg, designed
as a summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, wife of
the Elector Friedrich III, began in 1695. Between
1701 and 1713 Johann Friedrich Eosander added
a cupola and the Orangerie was extended. Today,
it has been extensively renovated.
Altes Schloss
The Baroque tower
of the oldest part of the
palace (1695) by Johann
Arnold Nering is crowned
by Richard Scheibe's
golden statue of Fortuna.

Schloss Charlottenburg
The Orangery Café
(left of the main
entrance) has an
attractive garden.
At weekends, the
palace park is over-
crowded, but a
midweek early-
evening stroll can
be very romantic
(open till 8pm).
Porzellankabinett
The small, exquisite
mirrored gallery has been
faithfully restored to its
original glory. Valuable
porcelain items from China
and Japan are on display.

Schlosskapelle
The luxurious splendour of the palace chapel
recalls the once magnificent interior design of the
palace, before it was destroyed in World War II. But
appearances can be deceptive: apart from the pulpit
which is preserved in its original form, the entire chapel
- including the king's box - is a costly reconstruction.
