Paretz Palace, Neoclassical palace in Ketzin/Havel, Germany.

The palace combines architectural elements with farming structures, featuring barn buildings that flank the main residence along the Havel River landscape.

Built between 1797 and 1804 by architect David Gilly, the palace served as a summer residence for Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm III and Queen Luise.

The royal quarters contain hand-painted wallpapers, furniture, paintings, graphics, and porcelain collections that reflect the original interior design of the estate.

Located 20 kilometers from Potsdam, the palace offers guided tours with admission prices of 6 euros for adults and 5 euros for reduced entry.

The palace houses portrait busts of Queen Luise and her gold-plated toilet service from the former Royal Palace in Berlin.
