Schloss Biesdorf stands in Berlin (Berlin), in Berlin, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Biesdorf Palace stands in its own park in the Berlin district of Biesdorf, part of Marzahn-Hellersdorf. Built in 1868 as an Italianate villa for the von Rüxleben family, it later passed to the Siemens family before being acquired by the city of Berlin. Gutted by fire in 1945, the building underwent a long restoration completed in 2016 and now houses the district's municipal gallery. Visitors can see the coloured cement-render facade and the octagonal corner tower topped with a copper-roofed belvedere.

Written from Biesdorf Palace

What to know

The palace can be visited mainly for its exterior architecture and as a municipal art gallery, with no verified opening hours or fees available.
It stands within the Schlosspark Biesdorf, a landscaped park of about four hectares.
The coloured cement-render facade, restored between 2002 and 2007, is a notable feature of any visit.
The original interior was lost in the 1945 fire, so what visitors see today reflects a reconstruction completed in 2016.
The palace is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany.
