Charlottenhof Palace was a summer residence of Prussian King Frederick William IV.

The Neoclassical palace was designed by Prussia's most famous architect, Karl Friedrich Schinkel and his student Ludwig Persius under participation of the king. Construction was finished in 1829.

The gardens were designed by royal gardener Hermann Sello, making the entire ensemble a colaboration between Schinkel and Sello.

Part of the exterior design is a 100ft long, 15 ft wide pergola consisting of square shaped marble columns topped with a wooden grid overgrown with vines.

17 steps lead up to the pergola. The stairs are guarded by statues depicting the Greek muse Clio and the Greek god Apollo.
