Adventure #3: Cecilienhof [Palace]

On the third day we traveled to Potsdam, Germany to see a palace called, Schloss Cecilienhof.  


This palace was built by the Hohenzollern dynasty. It was under construction between 1914 and 1917.  The palace was named after Crown Prince Wilhelm's wife Cecilie von Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Both of them lived there at some point in their lives. From July 17 to August 2, 1945, the Potsdam Conference negotiations between the victorious Allies of World War II were held here. This is how Cecilienhof palace became known around the world.
