The Biesdorf Palace (German: Schloss Biesdorf) is a Neoclassical-style building in Marzahn-Hellersdorf, Berlin. Constructed in 1868, Werner von Siemens acquired the palace in 1887. However, in 1889 he handed the building over to his son, Georg Wilhelm von Siemens. Damaged in World War II, the building was reconstructed on the basis of its original appearance, with the work being completed in 2016.
