Bellevue Palace has been the official residence of the president of Germany since 1994.
The schloss is situated on the banks of the Spree river. Its name – French for "beautiful view" – derives from its scenic prospect over the Spree's course.
Schloss Bellevue was erected in 1786 as a residence for Prince Augustus Ferdinand of Prussia, youngest brother of King Frederick II of Prussia. It was the first Neoclassical building in Germany.

Impressive building and a must see during a sight seeing tour in Berlin. Beautiful park and fantastic atmosphere for a nice walk in the afternoon.
Been there during the day of open doors..
Well it’s pretty but not as exquisite as I would’ve expected it to be. You could say that’s a sign of being humble and not wanting to provoke the folks that are beneath the financial situation of the president.. but hell nah he still lives in a castle which already is over the top, so at least go all the way with that choice.
(Ps the carpets were really pretty tho)

We visited Burger Festival last Sunday and President' Steinmeier's Schloss Bellevue. That was an amazing festival showing many details of German culture and national traditions, as well as Czech Republic's and other European countries. Wonderful place!
Nice place. Excellent activity for the people.

Well kept with heavy security. An information stand would be nice to explain the story of the once buried statues on the palace grounds.
