View of the Frigate Shed

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a beautiful view of the frigate shed on Peacock Island. Only from here can you see that the shed could actually be used as quarters for the frigate. On the island, the shed looks like a normal house.

Pfaueninsel Ferry

Highlight • Rest Area

Maybe it should be mentioned here in advance that it is not allowed to take the bike to the peacock island. Komoot showed me bike paths, but these are not such, but only foot trails.

Pfaueninsel Palace

Highlight • Castle

In 1794, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II had the small fairytale castle built on the Peacock Island for himself and his lover Wilhelmine Countess Lichtenau. In the typical style of the time, the pleasure palace was designed as a small castle ruin.

The castle was not damaged in the Second World War and has been preserved in its original condition to this day. The impressive interior in particular will take you on a journey back in time to the late 18th century.

The castle is generally open from March to October and can be visited Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Please note, however, that it is currently closed for renovation work.

Pfaueninsel Dairy

Highlight • Historical Site

The dairy was built in 1794/95 at the same time as the Pfaueninsel Palace as a "jewelry farm". The exterior of the building is reminiscent of a ruined monastery. On the first floor of the dairy there is a stable where dairy cows were housed.

Beelitzer Hunter's Blind on Pfaueninsel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The so-called "Jagdschirm" from the Beelitz mountains is a hunting lodge built in 1796 by the court carpenter Johann Gottlieb Brendel for King Frederick William II in the royal hunting grounds near Beelitz and then converted to the peacock island at the request of the king. The timber-framed building, which is boarded with boards, is completely covered with oak bark on the outside. Inside, there was a salon for the hunting party, which was covered with curtains and painted paper wallpaper with fluted pilasters and glued bases and capitals. The Jagdschützen shot out of the dark basement level, which had only narrow loopholes.

Aviary on Peacock Island (Pfaueninsel)

Highlight • Structure

Peacock Island in southwest Berlin is one of the most popular tourist destinations.
The island is a nature reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The island, approximately one and a half kilometers long and half a kilometer wide, has retained its fairytale character over the centuries and today invites you to take long walks. The island in southwest Berlin takes its name from a special feature: free-roaming peacocks that occasionally do cartwheels for visitors. In addition to the peacocks, several water buffalo also live on the island, which act as natural lawnmowers.

St. Peter and Paul Church at Nikolskoe

Highlight • Religious Site

The simple brick church dates from 1837 and was built by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. commissioned. Particularly noteworthy is the small onion dome, which is inspired by the design of Russian Orthodox churches. The tower had the king of his daughter and his son-in-law, the Tsar's couple Alexandra and Nicholas I, built to love in this form.
