The castle was built in 1741 and barely anything had changed! Clemens Augustus of Bavaria (portrait below) made this as a hunting castle and would celebrate large parties whenever possible. The architecture is strategic, the walls are made of Chinese or Italian fabric, everything is authentic (except for the electric candles!)

Day two in Berlin took us on a city tour. On the tour we visited the remains of the wall, Checkpoint Charlie, former Gestapo headquarters, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, and finally we took a boat tour on the Spree River.
