Biesdorf Palace, Neoclassical palace in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Germany
The white palace features an octagonal tower, symmetrical facades, and large windows arranged across two main floors of the building.
Architect Heino Schmieden designed the palace in 1868 for Baron von Rüxleben before Werner von Siemens acquired the property in 1887.
The palace houses temporary exhibitions of contemporary art and maintains a collection of artworks from the German Democratic Republic period.
Visitors can reach the palace via subway line 5 to Elsterwerdaer Platz or suburban train line 5 to Biesdorf station from central Berlin.
The surrounding English-style park contains a historic ice house and provides a habitat for protected species of birds and bats.

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
