Langer Stall
The Lange Stall, an imposing structure 170 meters long, was built in 1734 under Frederick William I according to plans by Pierre des Gayette as a single-story riding and drill house with a steep gabled roof. Contrary to its name, the Lange Stall ("Long Horse Stables") was used by the Potsdam garrison. The structure's design created a large open space without columns, suitable for soldier drills.Source: www.potsdam.de
