Schlosshotel Cecilienhof
A Karen Brown Recommendation

| Recenter Map To This Location |
Looking for all the world like an English country manor, the Schlosshotel Cecilienhof was built by Kaiser Wilhelm in 1916, and became the royal residence of the Crown Prince Hohenzollern. The mansion, which is now both a delightful hotel and a museum, is surrounded by a large park graced with lakes, trees, green lawns, and forest. The manor house is especially important because it was here that Churchill, Truman, and Stalin met in 1945 to work out the details for the Potsdam Treaty, which proposed the economic and political destiny for the defeated Germany. Although a fire destroyed some of the rooms of historical interest, you can still see where the various delegates lived and worked while they planned the treaty, and there are many interesting photographs depicting the historical event. The parklike grounds surrounding Cecilienhof are also open to the public, but it is only a lucky few who stay on to spend the night in the lovely hotel rooms occupying several of the wings. (9 am–5 pm, closed 2nd and 4th Mondays.)
