Schloss Pfaueninsel
Built in 1794-1795 under the direction of court carpenter Johann Gottlieb Brendel for Frederick William II, the early classicist interior was largely designed by Wilhelmine Ritz, later Countess Lichtenau, the king's close confidante. As part of the Special Investment Program II, preparations for the complete renovation of the palace began in autumn 2017.
The palace will reopen to the public in May 2025. One major challenge was the restoration of the spectacular shell of the building, a timber-framed structure.
As part of the tour, project manager Christopher Matz and project conservator Dr. Ute Joksch will also provide insights into the working techniques and conservation of the handcrafted and artistically high-quality room shells, the textile coverings, the paper wallpaper, the paneling and the ceiling and wall paintings.
