Schloss Charlottenburghttp://www.spsg.de/index.php?id=134
Charlottenburg Palace today is the largest residence of the Hohenzollern in Berlin. Originally built by Elector Frederick III as a summer residence for his wife Sophie Charlotte in 1699, the palace was later extended to a stately building with a cours d´honneur.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the largest collection of French paintings of the 18th century outside France. The ensemble of rooms and saloons - artistically as well as historically impressive - is a living testimonial of courtly culture and life from baroque times until the early 20th century.
