Belvedere

In the northeastern part of Charlottenburg Palace Park, near the Spree, the Belvedere stands proudly: a three-story building that bridges the Baroque and Neoclassical styles. Designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans and built in 1788 for King Frederick William II, it originally served as a tea house and viewing point. Its oval floor plan with rectangular wings is crowned by a copper-clad dome topped with gilded figures of boys. Rebuilt between 1956 and 1960, the landmark building now houses an important porcelain collection from the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin. Here you can marvel at historic masterpieces in the stacked galleries and enjoy the historic architecture in the park.
