Belvedere (Neubrandenburg)
The Belvedere in Neubrandenburg is a lookout point above the north-western steep bank of Lake Tollensee .
In 1775, Duke Adolf Friedrich IV had a half-timbered summer house built on the heights south of the village of Broda and named it Belvedere ( beautiful view ) after he had also built the Neubrandenburg theater and the city palace (Palais). This house, which was also home to the first Masonic lodge in Neubrandenburg, the crowned golden Greif , was later demolished and rebuilt as a lodge house in Beguinenstrasse in Neubrandenburg.
In place of the old belvedere, Grand Duchess Marie had a new house built in the form of a Greek temple by the master builder Friedrich Wilhelm Buttel as a destination for her daughters Luise and Caroline . The rectangular plastered building was given the shape of a Doric prostyle .
In 1934/35 Heinrich Tessenow converted the Belvedere into a memorial for those who fell in the First World War , but it no longer exists today. From 1994 to 1996 the building was extensively restored. From the Belvedere you have a wide view over the Tollensesee.
