Oranienburg Palace
To the info page of the venue
Around 1700, Oranienburg Palace was regarded as the Prussian monarchy’s most beautiful palace. In place of an old hunting lodge, the first wife of the Great Elector, Louise Henriette (born Princess of Orange-Nassau), had a palace with a Dutch character built as her country manor, beginning in 1651. Her son, the later and first Prussian king, Frederick I, had the palace rebuilt and magnificently furnished. Following quite a varied history of use, Oranienburg Palace Museum presents a collection of unique works of art, including splendid étagères in its Porcelain Chamber with Chinese porcelain from around 1700. A group of ivory seating furniture, made in Brazil in 1640, is exceptional, as are two series of tapestries from Brussels and Berlin, which include depictions of the glorious deeds of the Great Elector. In addition, the palace museum has a rich painting collection, featuring masterpieces by the Flemish painter Anthony van Dyck. The silver vault, in which select examples of ornamental royal silver are displayed, is another outstanding highlight.
