Brandenburg is the German state that surrounds Berlin, and lies on the
eastern part of Germany. A characteristic of castles in palaces in Brandenburg is that many of
them are not completely restored, due to the fact that many weren’t cared for during the
Communist times.
Probably the most emblematic palace in the state of Brandenburg is the
Sanssouci complex, located in Brandenburg’s capital city of Potsdam. It was
Frederick’s II residence and unlike many other former royal residences in Brandenburg it is in
a very good shape.
Apart from the Sanssouci, you can also find in Potsdam the Potsdam City
Palace (Potsdamer Stadtschloss) or the Cecilienhof, the first palace built by the
Hohenzollern’s.
