Hall of portraits


The Schloss Charlottenburg only recently reopened after extensive renovations. It has been beautifully restored and decorated and is definitely worth a visit, if you're in the city. I'll show you more details from inside the halls and chambers throughout the week.
 

Until then, enjoy this portrait of Sophie-Charlotte, the queen consort the palace was named for. I'm also linking this post with Tuesday Treasures.

  13. I lived around the corner from the palace and spent many Sundays in the park. It is a nice palace even though many of its treasures got lost during the war...there are rumours that in very humble flats in Charlottenburg you might find some very valuable pieces.
