Schloss Cecilienhof

Fodor's Review:

Resembling a rambling, Tudor manor house, Schloss Cecilienhof (Cecilienhof Palace) was built for Crown Prince Wilhelm in 1913, on a newly laid-out stretch of park called the New Garden, which borders the Heiliger See. It was in this last palace built by the Hohenzollerns that the Allied leaders Truman, Attlee, and Stalin hammered out the fate of postwar Germany at the 1945 Potsdam Conference. From Potsdam's main train station, take a tram to Reiterweg/Alleestrasse, and then transfer to Bus 692 to Am Neuer Garten.

  • Cost: EUR 5, EUR 6 with tour (Nov.-Mar. tour is mandatory); tour of prince's private rooms EUR 3
  • Open: Tues.-Sun. 10-6. Tours of prince's rooms at 11, 1, and 3
