Belvedere on the Klausberg
Belvedere on the Klausberg, Observation tower in Sanssouci Park, Potsdam, Germany.
The Belvedere stands at the highest point of Sanssouci Park, featuring classical architectural elements with a central rotunda and two rectangular wings.
Georg Christian Unger designed and built this observation tower between 1770 and 1772 during Frederick the Great's reign over Prussia.
The structure belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage site Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin, representing 18th-century German architectural excellence.
The building opens from May through October, Tuesday to Sunday, with the last entry permitted 30 minutes before closing at 18:00.
After its near-complete destruction in April 1945, the Belvedere remained in ruins until 1990, when reconstruction efforts began.
