Chinesisches Teehaus

Also known as the Chinese Tea House, the garden pavilion was created between 1755 and 1764 based on sketches by Frederick the Great and is one of the eye-catchers in Sanssouci Park. The interior of the tea house can only be visited from April to November, and there is a ticket vending machine around the corner.

The statues and representations around the teahouse are often a template for many a persevering artist, which they meticulously ban on paper.

Like no other building, the Chinese House in Park Sanssouci embodies the love of chinoiserie time. Built in 1754-1757, the elegant architecture conveys a cheerful atmosphere.

Just gorgeous: the Chinese house.

Especially the meadows and water surfaces and the trees in the environment are worth seeing.

This pavilion was built about 650 meters from Sanssouci Palace and served as a tea house.

The Chinese pavilion also belongs to the tea pavilion - just a few meters away, but it was soon rebuilt so that it can hardly be recognized as belonging to it.

The figures around the tea house were depicted in the way Chinese people imagined at the time. None of the artists had seen anyone from Asia before, or if so, only briefly.
