Schloss Sacrow, Baroque château in Potsdam, Germany.
Description
Schloss Sacrow is a Baroque palace on the Havel River's banks in Potsdam, featuring symmetrical architecture and a white facade with restrained ornamental details. The structure sits on slightly elevated ground overlooking the water and is surrounded by historic gardens and grounds.
History
Construction began in 1773 under Lieutenant General von der Hordt during an era of significant building activity in Potsdam. By 1840 it had become part of the Prussian crown's royal holdings and remained a property of state importance.
Culture
The name comes from the Slavic word for marsh, reflecting the original landscape of the area. The connection between the palace and the surrounding water shapes how the place looks and feels today for those who visit.
Practical
Entry is restricted and available only during special exhibitions in the summer months, with advance registration required. Visitors should check beforehand and arrange their visit in advance to ensure they can see the site.

An ancient protected oak tree grows in the castle grounds, spanning centuries of natural history on the site. This living monument creates an interesting contrast with the human-made architecture that surrounds it.
