As it stood in 1791

What Charlottenburg Palace looked like in its prime.

A long, pale stone and stucco Baroque façade extends in two symmetrical wings from a central pavilion topped by a green copper dome with a gilded wind‑vane statue. A balustraded roofline is punctuated by attic sculptures. In front lies a broad axial parterre and oval reflecting basin with a tall vertical fountain, framed by clipped alleys and chestnut trees; the west Orangery and pavilion blocks terminate the composition.
