Sanssouci Palace

No visit to Potsdam is complete without a detour to the most famous sight, Sanssouci Palace. Built in the Rococo style from 1745 to 1747 according to King Frederick II's own sketches, the vineyard palace was the king's summer residence. The tour with audio guide is worthwhile - as is a long walk through the beautiful park. In the summer months, the vineyard terraces are particularly beautiful, and the motif of wine can also be found in the design of the interiors. If you want to admire the park and palace in peace in the summer, you should set off early - or enjoy the evening hours. Opening times and prices: potsdam-park-sanssouci.de/sanssouci.html

Where does it already exist that the central garden part of a palace complex is ultimately a kitchen garden whose design is optimized for the highest possible yield? And that already arose before the castle was completed on the top terrace - "my vineyard cottage" is said to have called it Frederick II. Country cultivation and country beautification as an expression of enlightened mind. 132 steps lead up to six terraces.

Sanssouci Palace is located in the eastern part of Sanssouci Park and is one of the best-known Hohenzollern castles in the Brandenburg capital of Potsdam. According to his own sketches, the Prussian King Friedrich II had a small rococo summer palace built between 1745 and 1747. Wikipedia
