Built in 1695 as a summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, Prussia's first queen, the palace was expanded across the generations that followed. Highlights include the golden dome, opulent Rococo interiors, and the porcelain-filled Porcelain Cabinet, while the sprawling Baroque-and-English gardens behind the palace are perfect for a stroll or picnic. The grounds also hold the Belvedere pavilion and the royal mausoleum, rewarding a leisurely visit.
