Cecilienhof

The Cecilienhof features 176 rooms arranged in a Tudor Revival style with half-timbered walls and multiple decorative chimneys throughout its structure.

Emperor Wilhelm II commissioned this palace between 1914 and 1917 as the last residence for Crown Prince Wilhelm and Crown Princess Cecilie of the Hohenzollern dynasty.

The Great Hall, White Salon, and Red Salon hosted the Potsdam Conference in 1945, where Allied leaders determined the post-war organization of Europe.

Visitors can explore both the museum section displaying historical exhibitions and the hotel area, located at Am Neuen Garten 11 in Potsdam.

The palace incorporates 55 decorated brick chimneys, each presenting different patterns and designs that make every rooftop view distinct from another.
