Schloss Paretz stands in Ketzin/Havel, in the Landkreis Havelland, in Brandenburg. This modest country residence was commissioned by the future Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm III, who bought the estate in 1797 to live a quiet family life with his wife Luise, away from the grand palaces of Berlin. The Berlin architect David Gilly designed a plain building in the early classicist style of the period, incorporating the older manor house already standing on the site. Inside, the royal rooms still feature painted and printed panoramic wallpapers, a novelty at the time that made the house widely known.
