Babelsberg Palace is a historic palace located in Potsdam, Germany, on the banks of the Havel River. It was built in the mid-19th century by the architect Ludwig Persius for Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, later to become King Wilhelm I of Germany. The palace is a fine example of the neo-Renaissance style and features a large central dome and two smaller ones at each end.

Over the years, Babelsberg Palace has been home to several prominent figures, including members of the royal family and later, leaders of East Germany. It suffered considerable damage during World War II and was later restored in the 1950s and 60s.

Today, the palace is open to the public and is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of the Prussian monarchy. Visitors can take guided tours of the palace, which include a look at the ornate rooms, such as the grand hall and the chapel. The palace is surrounded by a beautiful park, which features several other historic buildings, including the Orangery and the Marble Palace.
