The Villa Carlshagen is one of the prominent monuments of Potsdam and will be in the spotlight on September 13, 2026, during the Day of Open Monuments. Visitors will experience a tour/visit through a house that was once built as a summer residence and is now used as a site of the HMU Health and Medical University.
