Under Frederick William II, the immediate surroundings of the palace were landscaped and a neo-Gothic dairy – the "Meierei" – was built on the opposite end of the island. Frederick William III and his wife Queen Luise used the palace as a summer residence. From 1818 onwards, Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned to redesign the island to create a landscape garden.
