Charlottenburg park
The park behind Schloss Charlottenburg was originally laid out in French
Baroque style. In the 18th and 19th century, the park was converted into
a less formal, landscaped garden. With the reconstruction of the park
after the The palace seen from the park war, a small part was laid out
in French style again.
In the beautiful park you'll find a number of buildings such as the mausoleum, a Doric temple built in 1810 as the burial place for members of the royal family. It contains the sarcophagus of Friedrich Wilhelm II among others. Another building in the garden is the Belvedere, commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II and built between 1788 and 1790 as a teahouse. Near the palace is the Schinkel pavilion, built by the renowned German architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel for king Friedrich Wilhelm III. In front of the pavilion are two columns, topped with statues http://www.aviewoncities.com/berlin/charlottenburg.htm
