Pomonatempel, Neoclassical temple on Pfingstberg, Potsdam, Germany.
Pomonatempel is a Neoclassical building on Pfingstberg in Potsdam with four Ionic columns across its front. The square structure is topped by a rooftop terrace that offers views across the surrounding landscape.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed the building in 1801 as his first independent project, commissioned by Carl Ludwig von Oesfeld. A sun awning was added in 1817 to improve comfort on the terrace.
The name references Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and gardens, reflecting its original purpose as a garden pavilion. Visitors notice how the hilltop location frames the space as a viewing point within the surrounding greenery.
The temple is accessible from Easter to October on weekends, remaining closed from November through March. Visitors should plan their visit during the warmer months when the site is open.
The building features a separate stair tower leading to an upper terrace as an integral part of its design. This arrangement allows visitors to survey the garden and surroundings from above.
