To the info page of the venue
The last Hohenzollern building to be constructed in Potsdam, Cecilienhof Country House, was built in 1913-17 in the style of an English country manor for Prussia’s Crown Prince William and his wife Cecilie. The royal family lived at Cecilienhof Country House until shortly before the end of World War II .
The house is primarily known for the Potsdam Conference held there by WWII ’s victorious powers during the summer of 1945. Incorporating a new look since April 2012, the permanent exhibition presents the history of the building and the Potsdam Conference. A revision and a redesign occurred on the basis of the previous exhibition.
The historical events are conveyed in a multilayered display on 18 stelae and panels. In combination with the aura of the location, a lasting image of the conference event is created through a large number of historical photographs. Conversely, the architectural history of the country house and the lives of the royal couple are now also represented with three new wall panels at the entrance and are vividly illustrated by means of select family photographs.
We offer the following group tours:
- Special exhibition Cecilienhof Country House Potsdam Conference 1945 - Shaping the world/ from 1 May until 1 November 2020 . The opening date is postponed.

At some palaces, we offer a surplus fee up to a specific number of participants for the second guided tour. The surplus fee flat rate cannot be booked as an individual service.
There is no minimum number of participants required for a group tour.
Guided tours can be booked in a variety of languages. The bookings of a respective language are carried out subject to availability of tour guides and cannot be guaranteed.
