Oranienburg Palace

Oranienburg Palace is a Baroque château in Oranienburg featuring a symmetrical layout and corner towers, distinguished by horizontal window lines and classical proportions. The main building is surrounded by formal gardens that frame the structure within its broader grounds.

The palace rose in the mid-1600s on the orders of a wife of the Great Elector on former hunting land. The construction was overseen by a prominent architect of the period and left a lasting mark on local development.

The palace was commissioned by a princess from the House of Orange-Nassau and carries clear traces of Dutch design in its balanced rooms. Visitors can see today how the architecture reflects the connection between Brandenburg and the Netherlands.

The building can be viewed from the inside during opening hours, with guided tours through its rooms available. Spring and summer offer the best time to visit, when the gardens are also fully accessible.

Inside hangs an extraordinarily rare amber chandelier that has occupied its place for centuries. Alongside this, the house displays a collection of early Berlin ceramics that reflect the artistic taste of its former residents.
