Marmorpalais

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:37:14

The neoclassical Marble Palace was built in 1792 as a summer residence for Friedrich Wilhelm II by Carl Gotthard Langhans (of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate fame) and has a stunning interior marked by a grand central staircase, marble fireplaces, stucco ceilings and lots of precious Wedgwood porcelain. The most fanciful room is the Turkish-tent-style Orientalisches Kabinett (Oriental Cabinet).
