Villa Carlshagen, Cultural heritage monument in Potsdam, Germany
Villa Carlshagen is a residential building on the shores of Templiner See in Potsdam, featuring classical architecture from the early 20th century. The structure displays a mansard hipped roof with dormers, ornamental columns, and relief decorations across its roughly 1,900 square meter space.
Banker Carl Levy purchased the property in 1900 and commissioned architect Friedrich Wilhelm Göhre to transform it into a summer residence between 1909 and 1910. The building underwent comprehensive restoration after the Chamber of Commerce and Industry acquired it in 2012.
The villa displays neoclassical features with elegant columns and decorative elements throughout its design. Inside, an oval dining room and guest wing shaped how the house functioned as a space for entertaining and formal living.
The property sits on the lake shore and is surrounded by a park with garden monument status. Visitors should know that the site is part of a larger natural setting where the grounds can be explored.
The property is connected to a park of about 10,000 square meters that has kept its historical garden structure. This protected park shows how gardens were designed in the early 20th century.
