Prince August Ferdinand of Prussia, the youngest brother of Frederick II, commissioned the architect Michael Philipp Boumann to build Bellevue Palace in 1785, in a style blending baroque and neoclassicist elements. Destroyed almost entirely by firebombs in 1941, it had been rebuilt by 1959 to serve as the second official residence of the federal president, being the first one from 1994 onwards.
