Pfaueninsel Palace, Neoclassical palace in Wannsee district, Germany.
The white stone palace stands on Peacock Island, featuring symmetrical architecture with columns and a central dome overlooking the River Havel.
Frederick William II of Prussia ordered the construction of this summer residence in 1797, establishing it as a retreat from royal obligations.
The palace forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin, recognized for its architectural significance.
Visitors reach the palace through a ferry service that departs regularly from the mainland, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The palace grounds maintain a population of free-roaming peacocks, continuing a tradition that dates back to its original purpose.
