At the gates of Berlin, the Prussian gardens and castles are tinged with autumn colors and are prepared for the end of the year.
The ancient and majestic residences of the Prussians, surrounded by lush vegetation that change with their autumn colors, offer a great show especially at this time of the year. The Berliner Brandenburg (SPSG) of the Preussische Schlösser und Gärten Foundation (Prussian Palace and Gardens Foundation) maintains these works of art making it accessible to the public. The complete landscape of Prussian houses and gardens consists of over 300 built complexes and nearly 800 acres of garden, with 37 open-to-public buildings. While keeping their main residence in Berlin, members of the Hohenzollern dynasty built a number of
palaces and gardens near the town and along the River Havel from the 17th century onwards. In the 19th century, garden designer Peter Joseph Lenné grouped several of these ensembles into an extensive park landscape. In 1990, UNESCO included this total art work, which reaches from Sanssouci via the New Garden and Sacrow to Pfaueninsel and Glienicke in Berlin, among the world’s listed natural and cultural heritage sites. For a trip through nature, in the Sanssouci Palace a Potsdam is located on the
Orangerie, built to protect exotic plants from the stormy winter temperatures, one of the largest in Europe along with Vienna and Versailles. You can drive all the secrets by a guided tour through which you can find out how the plans or the history of the building wanted by Friedrich Wilhelm IV are taken care of, or how they are done and how the rooms that guarantee heating in the winter.
