At 76 meters above sea level, the Pfingstberg is the highest elevation on the “island” of Potsdam. The Pfingstberg is comprised of the Romantic-era Belvedere palace with its spectacular views, built from 1847-63 by Persius, Hesse and Stüler according to plans by King Frederick William IV, and the Temple of Pomona, built in 1800 from plans by Schinkel. Both buildings are enclosed by a historical park in the style of an English landscape garden. Because of the proximity to the border between the two Germanies and the Soviet garrison after World War II, the ensemble was closed and fell into decline. It was restored from 1992-2003.
