Not only the building itself but also the gardens are exceptional nice. To me it looks a bit too artificial but nevertheless the gardener did a great job.
The surrounding park, called Neuer Garten, is a special place, too. Around the Marmorpalais (which is the "small" palace where the price an his wife had lived before building Cecilienhof) there are a couple of strange buildings. The palace kitchen is built in the look of an ancient roman temple. Or the ice cellar (the refridgerator of former times) is built as an egyptean pyramid. Very strange..but funny.
Then there is the Orangerie where the delicate plants were stored during the winter.
On one end of the building there is an interesting hint to Egypt, too. A female (I guess so:-) Sphinx overlooks the area.
