Schloss Köpenick

About

This Baroque water palace was built upon the remains of an old hunting lodge between 1677 and 1690, and now houses one of the finest collections of decorative arts in Europe! The palace is a stunning example of Baroque design, painstakingly restored to its original condition. It's home to countless treasures from the Kunstgewerbemuseum and charts the history of the decorative arts through 16th to the 18th centuries. Special attention is paid to the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo periods in a magnificent permanent collection spread across three floors. Highlights include the building's jaw-dropping gateway, chapel, and conservation studio, as well as the original Baroque plasterwork visible in almost every room. Throw in a charming English-style garden and you have a delightful day out! Book your tickets before you arrive to save money and time, and start exploring its dramatic history.
