Babelsberg Palace, a Gothic Revival château designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and built beginning in 1835, stands in the parkland quarter of Potsdam near Berlin. For more than fifty years it served as the summer residence of Prince William—who would become German Emperor William I and King of Prussia—and his wife Augusta of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. Together with the surrounding park and neighboring gardens, the palace was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, recognized for its architectural coherence and as a testament to the power and ambition of the Prussian monarchy.
