Meseberg Palace

Meseberg Palace

Meseberg Palace is located in Meseberg, Brandenburg, Germany, southeast of Lake Huwenowsee, near Gransee. It serves as Germany’s state guesthouse and is surrounded by lush greenery, making it one of the country’s most important palaces.

The history of Meseberg Palace dates back to 1739, when it was built by the Wartensleben Family to replace an earlier ancient building that had been destroyed by fire. In the latter half of the 18th century, it came into the possession of the Gloeden Family and subsequently changed hands several times. In 1945, Meseberg Palace became the property of the German Democratic Republic. After German reunification, the palace and its gardens were restored and it was designated as Germany’s state guesthouse. The main building is an 18th-century Baroque structure, which the German Chancellor reserves for receiving foreign leaders with whom Germany shares the closest ties. On October 5, 2010, Chancellor Merkel hosted a visit by China’s Premier here at Meseberg Palace.
