Schloss Tegel, Neoclassical country house in Tegel, Berlin, Germany

Schloss Tegel is a multi-part country house with pale cream walls, white trim and a dark grey roof. A tall three-storey block with rows of rectangular windows stands on the left, while a lower two-storey wing with a steep hipped roof and a rounded projecting bay attaches at right. Karl Friedrich Schinkel rebuilt it in classical style between 1820 and 1824.

The estate took its current shape in the 1820s after Wilhelm von Humboldt inherited the older property and chose to redesign it. That transformation defined how the house looks today.

The house is still owned and lived in by the Heinz family, descendants of Wilhelm von Humboldt through his daughter Gabriele von Bülow. A private Humboldt Museum inside can be visited on guided tours on Mondays during the summer half-year. In the park, the family grave holds the marble statue of Spes that Caroline von Humboldt loved from her Roman days; Wilhelm bought it after her death.

The private Humboldt Museum inside the house can be visited only on guided tours held on Mondays during the summer half of the year. The schloss itself is still lived in by the Heinz family, so visits are limited to the tour. The park, listed as a monument since 1983, is separate from the house and reaches almost to Lake Tegel.

Near Lake Tegel stands the Dicke Marie, an oak the Humboldt brothers named after their cook; it is said to be 800 years old. Closer to the house grows the Humboldt Oak, with a trunk circumference of 7.80 m measured in 2018.
