 castle, museum, Baroque (architecture), listed building / architectural heritage, 17th century construction
The centrepiece of this almost 800 year-old city is the Mark of Brandenburg’s oldest Baroque palace (see above), situated right next to the Havel in the historic heart of the city. In 1652, Louise Henriette, born Princess of Orange-Nassau, (1627-1667), wife of the Great Elector and the founder of the city, had the palace built in the Dutch style. Starting in 1689, her son, later King Friedrich I, had it extended and ornately decorated, making it then the most beautiful palace in Brandenburg-Prussia. From 1997 to 1999 it was comprehensively renovated and was reopened with a House of Orange exhibition, ‘Onder den Oranje Boom’, in August 1999.
