This 67-hectare island, redesigned as an English garden in the century by a landscape gardener, features free-roaming peacocks.
The 67-hectare island was acquired by Frederick William II in 1773 as a hunting ground. The king forbade the cutting of trees, and its oak trees are now over 400 years old! Landscape gardener Peter Joseph Lenné redesigned the island as an English garden in the 19th century. The castle, a false ruin in keeping with the taste of the time, is rather grotesque, but the island itself is enchanting, with its free-roaming peacocks. Since 1990, the island, along with the parks of Potsdam, has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
