Langer Stall, Historic riding hall in Potsdam, Germany.

The Langer Stall extends 166.5 meters in length and 21.5 meters in width, featuring a steep gabled roof and regular window arrangements along its facade.

Constructed in 1734 under Frederick William I with plans by Pierre de Gayettes, the building served as a royal riding and parade house for military exercises.

The structure represents the architectural transition from functional military buildings to decorative royal structures, as evidenced by the 1781 neoclassical portal addition.

The surviving portal, restored between 1979 and 1980, stands at coordinates 52.3958 latitude and 13.0543 longitude, marking the location of the original building.

The wooden roof structure gained recognition from prominent architects Friedrich Nicolai and David Gilly for its innovative design without supporting columns.
