Glienicke Palace and Park Description
Neo-Classical in style, Glienicke Palace (in Berlin's Kleingliennicke), originally a small country house, was built in its present form in 1826 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel as a summer residence for Prince Carl of Prussia, son of Queen Luise. The main block is linked to the Cavalier Wing built in 1832 and to other buildings. They surround an Italian-style courtyard with a fountain. Built into the walls of the house and courtyard are antique fragments and inscriptions brought back by Prince Carl from his travels. At present the Palace is closed to visitors owing to work being carried out. It is currently used as a high school for local children, but there are plans to install a Palace Museum.
