The Pfingstberg Ensemble
Experience the most beautiful view of Potsdam on the
Pfingstberg, at a height over 100 meters, set amidst Prussian
architecture and landscape gardening. The ensemble comprised of
the Belvedere Palace, the Temple of Pomona and the park
grounds belongs to the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und
Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg and is part of a unique landscape
of UNESCO World Heritage palaces and parks in Potsdam and
Berlin.
Belvedere
Frederick William IV realized his romantic dream in the
Belvedere, creating what is undisputedly the most beautiful
view over Potsdam and the Havel lakes across to Berlin. The
romantic and classically-styled palace, built from 1847-63 by
the architects L. Persius, F. Stüler and L. F. Hesse according to
the king's plans, radiates a unique atmosphere of tranquility
and grandeur through its arcades, colonnades, galleries and
two observation towers.
The Temple of Pomona
The Temple of Pomona, completed in 1801, is regarded as the
first building constructed by the young architect Karl
Friedrich Schinkel. The building, once designed as a tea
pavilion, took its name to honor “Pomona,” the Roman
goddess who blessed the fruit crop.
Gardens
In 1863, Peter Joseph Lenné encircled the historical buildings
on the Pfingstberg with a landscape garden designed in the
English style. You can stroll as far as the New Garden over a
winding, downward slope while allowing yourself to be
surprised by the ever-changing points of view.
