The Sans Souci Palace in Tandil is a monumental construction built in the 1920s by the Santamarina family on a 50-hectare property. The family used it as a summer house, receiving important figures from politics and entertainment there. In 1949 it was expropriated by the state and after the 1955 military coup it was restored to its owners. These in turn gave it to the government to be used as a school. An Institute of agrarian education worked but in 1976 it was taken over by the military. It is said that torture and other atrocities were carried out in its basements.

With the beginning of democracy, the palace was ceded to the Ministry of Education but it was already destroyed, looted and lacking in maintenance. Instead of preserving it or making it useful, the palace was left abandoned and was sometimes usurped by various families. In 2009 he was the victim of an intentional fire.

Today this architectural beauty is closer to demolition than restoration.
