Marmorpalais

The Marble Palace is located by the lake, the scenery is very beautiful, and the lake is very clear. The palace is very refreshing, thanks to the beautiful marble, the color of the whole palace is very beautiful. It is worth walking along the lake when you are free, it is very comfortable.The whole park is also very beautiful, not many people, very suitable for a leisurely walk.

The marble palace has never actually been open any time that we’ve been here, and we usually visit Berlin/Potsdam once a year in the summertime. So we walk around the outside and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous, but then it’s in an area that’s spoiled for gorgeous scenery. I gave it a three because there are always annoying caretakers around who try to tell you what you can and can’t do. For example, the palace is right on a swimming lake and I’ve been told off by the caretakers for walking in a swimsuit from the lake entrance one side of the palace to the lake entrance on the other. We’re talking about a distance of about one block. Most recently I was told off today by a random woman who decided that I was speaking too loudly on the phone (outside in the gardens). Incidentally, the “palace” itself is very small and is more of a wedding venue than a place of cultural importance to explore. But it is very pretty !

One of the most beautiful and exquisite palaces in Brandenburg with ancient precious sculptures and vases. Unfortunately can be visited only with a one-hour excursion in German, which is not enough for such a splendid place and doesn’t always suit foreigners.

A nice destination place within this park and close to other main attractions in Potsdam.

Visit 1hr with guide only. Ticket 7€ Very difficult access from parking (not free) needing 800m walk. Surrounding area very nice

The Marmorpalais was a royal residence commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm II and designed in the early Neoclassical style by the architects Carl von Gontard and Carl Gotthard Langhans (who also designed the Brandenburger Gate). It was the summer palace of the king, who wanted to distance himself from his predecessor, Frederick the great, who preferred Sanssousi palace and a more Barroque and rococo style. As of August 2020, it was unfortunately closed. For me, the most beautiful part of the palace are the frescos with scenes from The Song of the Nibelungs. They would definitely benefit from some restoration work.

It's a pretty palace and you get a wonderful guided tour. It's near celienhof so you can combine it together with marmor palais. It tells you about life and kinds of the kind and his love for art and science. You will come across brilliant stuff about him and how the royal family life works. It was a joy and fun to visit. I will go again in the summer.

Very nice palace. The entrance is included in sansoussi+ ticket. The palace is on walking distance (1 km) from Cecilienhof. There was only german guided tour. We joined that tour with audio guide. It was not plesant to leasen to the audio guide and german spiking guide who did not allow us to walk alone. Palace has around 25 rooms to visit. It is very interesting and worth to visit.
