Built by Elector Frederick III as a summer residence for his wife Sophie Charlotte in 1699, Charlottenburg Palace houses majestic rooms and an excellent art collection. It is surrounded by well-attended Baroque gardens.
Charlottenburg Palace hosts the largest collection of French 18th-century paintings outside of France. The paintings and the furnishings provide a luxurious insight into the courtly culture and life of the Baroque era right up until the early-20th century.
