The Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg art collection is housed in a listed Neo-classical style building by architect Friedrich August Stüler in Charlottenburg-Berlin. It is one of two twin buildings opposite the Charlottenburg Palace commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. They took eight years to build and were completed in 1859. The architect, Friedrich August Stüler, designed the buildings in the Neoclassical style and they were each crowned with a large cupola. The buildings originally housed the officer barracks of the Gardes du Corps. The buildings were severely damaged during WW2 and subsequently restored after the war. A glass corridor now connects the two historical buildings.
