Visit to Iceland

CHAPTER XI
15/98

Here also are rows of very elegant country-houses, most of which are built in the Italian style.
CHARLOTTENBURG This place is about half an hour's distance from the Brandenburg-gate, where the omnibuses that depart every minute are stationed.

The road leads through the park, beyond which lies a pretty village, and adjoining it is the royal country-palace of Charlottenburg.

The palace is built in two stories, of which the upper one is very low, and is probably only used for the domestics.

The palace is more broad than deep; the roof is terrace-shaped, and in its centre rises a pretty dome.

The garden is simple, and not very large, but contains a considerable orangery.
