Charlottenburg
Palace is the largest palace in Berlin. I absolutely love visiting palaces and
castles because I think they are so beautiful and after reading more about this
palace I learned that the inside is decorated in baroque and rococo styles. When
I was abroad last time one of my favorite parts of travelling was seeing all
the beautiful architecture and designs. From what I have read this palace is a
popular tourist attraction.
A little
history that I researched is that this palace is the largest residence of the
Hohenzollern in Berlin. This palace was built by Frederick III as a summer
residence for his wife Sophie Charlotte back in 1699 (Stiftung Preußische Schlösser). I also found out that
it also serves as a museum of international standing and is a popular destination
for excursions as well as a venue for cultural events and social functions
(Charlottenburg Palace). I look forward to visiting this palace and learning
more in person.
