| Palais am Festungsgraben (former Palais Donner) |
The above Palais was originally built in baroque style by Johann Gottfried Donner, the Valet de Chambre of Prussian King Frederick II (Friedrich der Große) in 1753 and redesigned, one century later, with the – then very hip – classicistic "livery" it wears nowadays.
The Palais is situated right behind the chestnut grove of the New Guard House and is the only buiilding in this neighborhood that survived World War II relatively unscathed.
It disposes of several very representative halls and is used for festive receptions or exclusive events (can be chartered by you too!). It even won an award for being "one of the best event locations in Germany".
Furthermore, the building serves as a theater, hosts two galleries and the Tajik Tee Salon.
