Opposite Glienicke Palace and Park and the New Garden, on the other side of the Havel River, lies the 26,3-hectare Sacrow Garden. The grounds complete the ring of gardens around Potsdam's Jungfernsee (Lake Jungfern). This exceptionally charming location was also the reason why Frederick William IV acquired Sacrow in 1840.
The king immediately commissioned Ludwig Persius to build the Church of the Redeemer on the promontory jutting into the Jungfernsee lake. Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned to landscape the surrounding area. During the GDR era, the park became overgrown and was restored starting in 1994.
The park is open to the public, and admission is free. Sacrow Palace is occasionally used as an exhibition venue during the summer months and is open to visitors on these occasions.
