Château Palmeraie stands in Potsdam’s Nauener Vorstadt, where architecture meets the landscape below Pfingstberg. The building began as the Rote Kaserne. Constructed between 1892 and 1895, the red-brick structure served Prussian Guard Field Artillery regiments as barracks and a clothing depot. Its Neo-Gothic design uses battlements and pointed-arch windows. After Soviet troops departed, the unused four-storey building received a residential conversion between 2005 and 2008. A central atrium organizes access to the apartments. Renovation retained historic window sizes and steel frames across the building’s three principal facades. Large loggias preserve the original outline without balcony extensions. Inside, loft-style apartments expose wooden beam ceilings and cast-iron supports. Forests and lakes surround the residential complex near Pfingstberg. Château Palmeraie therefore connects military architecture with residential design in Potsdam. The preserved red brick, pointed windows and roofline give the former barracks its distinctive character. Its atrium brings circulation into the building’s centre while the historic structure remains visible. The surrounding Nauener Vorstadt places this architectural landmark among Potsdam’s forests, lakes and historic streets.
