Babelsberg Palace, Gothic Revival château in Potsdam, Germany
Located near Berlin, Babelsberg Palace stands with embattled walls, flanking towers, and lancet windows designed in the English Tudor architectural style.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed this palace in 1833 for Prince William of Prussia, who later became Emperor William I of Germany.
The palace represents the first example of Neo-Gothic architecture on the European continent, marking a shift in architectural preferences of Prussian nobility.
