Knobelsdorffhaus, Palladian building at Alter Markt, Potsdam, Germany
The Knobelsdorffhaus stands with a symmetrical five-axis facade, featuring rounded arch windows and a central projection crowned by a triangular pediment.
Built in 1750 under Frederick the Great's commission, architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff designed this structure based on London's Marble Hill House.
Three sculptures on the roof represent Roman deities Flora, Pomona, and Vertumnus, reflecting the classical influences in German architecture.
The building functions as part of the Potsdam Museum complex, alongside the Old Town Hall, offering visitors access to local history exhibitions.
Two Chinese-styled Atlas figures support the curved balcony on the upper floor, combining Asian and European architectural elements.
