Dragon House, Restaurant and museum in Klausberg, Potsdam, Germany
The Dragon House rises as a four-story octagonal pagoda with sixteen dragons decorating the roof tips and concave walls incorporating large windows.
Frederick the Great commissioned architect Carl von Gontard to construct this Chinese-style pagoda between 1770 and 1772 near Sanssouci Park.
The Dragon House represents European interpretation of Chinese architecture, following designs from Sir William Chambers' architectural reference books.
The establishment operates from April through October from 11:00 to 20:00, while winter hours run Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00.
Originally intended as a residence for local winegrowers, the structure underwent restoration in 1787 and transformed into a restaurant in 1934.
