The Friedrichsfelde Palace is a Neoclassical-style building in the centre of the Tierpark Berlin in Berlin-Friedrichsfelde. It was property of various noble Prussians and occasionally owned by Prussian Kings. The last owners were the Treskow family, whose landmarked family burial ground is located in the surrounding park. Currently, the palace offers exhibitions about its history and is a place for classical concerts and cultural events.
