Main Big photo
Wikipedia: The Stadtschloss, was a royal palace in the centre of Berlin, capital of Germany. The palace bore features of the Baroque style, and its shape, finalized by the mid 18th century, is attributed to Andreas Schlüter, whose first design is likely to date from 1702, though the palace incorporated earlier parts seen in 1688 by Nicodemus Tessin. It was the principal residence (winter residence) of the Kings of Prussia from 1701-1918 (the German Emperors from 1871-1918) and a museum following the fall of the German Empire in 1918.
