Schönhausen Palace in Berlin began as a manor built in 1664. The infobox names Johann Arnold Nering, who remodeled it from 1691 to 1693, and lists Frederick I of Prussia as client. The text adds Eosander von Göthe, who enlarged it from 1704, and Johann Boumann, who rebuilt it after 1763. The infobox gives no dates.

The infobox calls the style Baroque. The article mentions lavish stucco decoration and chemically treated roof timbers, but no other materials or dimensions. The gardens were later remodeled in Rococo style and then as an English landscape garden.

It was the seat of East German president Wilhelm Pieck until 1960, then a state guest house. Round Table talks met in its outbuildings in 1989 and 1990. It reopened to the public on December 19, 2009. The article gives no hours.
