According to the Wikipedia page (
visit link) for King Ottokar's Sceptre, "the Syldavian Royal Palace is based on both the Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin and the Royal Palace of Brussels." In looking at this photo (
visit link) from King Ottokar's Sceptre, it appears that the domed part of the building is taken from the Royal Palace of Brussels, while the entrance pillars/gates with their statues, as well as the entrance portico, were taken from the Charlottenburg Palace.
The following information about Charlottenburg Palace is from the Wikipedia (
visit link) website:
"Charlottenburg Palace (German: Schloss Charlottenburg) is the largest palace in Berlin, Germany. It is located in the Charlottenburg district of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough.
The palace was built at the end of the 17th century and was greatly expanded during the 18th century. It includes much exotic internal decoration in baroque and rococo styles. A large formal garden surrounded by woodland was added behind the palace, including a belvedere, a mausoleum, a theatre and a pavilion. During the Second World War, the palace was badly damaged but has since been reconstructed. The palace with its gardens are a major tourist attraction."
