Facade of the Charlottenhof Palace in Sanssouci Park, Potsdam, Germany.

The jewel of Park Charlottenhof, this small palace modeled on classical Roman villas started out as a baroque country manor before being expanded by Karl Friedrich Schinkel for Friedrich Wilhelm IV in the late 1820s. Schinkel also designed much of the Biedermeier-style furniture.

Peter Joseph Lenné designed the surrounding gardens, creating a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. A combination ticket with the nearby Römische Bäder costs €8/6.
