Petzow is situated on a land bridge between two lakes: Glindower See and Schwielowsee. The architectural style of the palace is a mixture of English Tudor and Italian Castel. In 1825, the mansion was restored the Prussian royal court's architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The Park of Petzow was designed by the garden architect Peter Joseph Lenné.
