Encyclopedia : C : CE : CEC : Cecilienhof
Schloss Cecilienhof is in the Northern part of the New Gardens in Potsdam, close to the Jungfernsee lake. It was the last palace built by the Hohenzollern family. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany built it for his son Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany and Cecilie of the house of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The house was designed by Paul Schultze-Naumburg to look like an English Tudor country house [Cecilia Court Palace] and was built between 1914 and 1917.
Cecilienhof was the location of the Potsdam Conference between July 17 and August 2 1945. The palace is now a museum and Hotel.
