I’ve saved the best for last from my visit to this lovely summer palace in the city of Berlin. The dining room and the incredible ballroom!
First, a video and a couple pix of the “dining hall” that precedes the ballroom. Imagine banquets in this space for couples dressed in their finest.
And now here is the gorgeous green painted ballroom, highlighted throughout with gold leaf.
get back, lauretta! 
Truly amazing.
How come you got it all to yourself?
Just lucky timing in that room! Isn’t she lovely??!!
Amazing. Spectacular. A cleaner’s nightmare.
It’d be all stiff uniforms, high collars, and regulated movements.
A different period. A different way of being. It must have been wonderful for the lucky few who got to experience it as a guest!
