What to expect

1
Sanssouci Park

Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sanssouci park is homing an amazing amount of nature. From the vineyard to the baroque flower, the park is a great promenade. 3,000 fruits trees were planted in the hedge quarter, and the greenhouses hold plants and fruit trees.

2

Orangery Palace

<nil>

Located in Sanssouci Park, its other name is the New Orangery. Built-in 1851, the building is a great representation of the style of the Italian Renaissance. While walking around its 300 meters long building, you'll notice some similarities with the Villa Medici in Rome and the Uffizi in Florence.

3
Sanssouci Palace

With its Frederician Rococo architecture, Sanssouci Palace could be a rival of Versailles. Smaller than its French cousin, it is still remarkable for the temples and follies located in its park. Furthermore, Sanssouci palace wasn't a place of power but a relaxation villa for the King.

4

Chinese House in Sanssouci Park

The Chinese House was built in 1755 to embellish the flower and vegetable gardens of Sanssouci Park. You can guess by its name the great style of Chinese architecture. A zest of ornamental rococo components has been used, enhancing this garden pavilion.

5
Roman Baths

Created in 1829, the Roman baths is a beautiful mix of classical Roman and antique Italien styles. The place contains several buildings: the gardener's house, the Roman Bath and a small tea pavilion. All form an amazing complex of classical antiquity joined together by pergolas, arcades and charming terraces.

6

New Palace

<nil>

Hidden in Sanssouci Park, the New Palace was built under Frederick the Great and is considered as the last great Prussian Baroque villa. As a mix of Rococo and Baroque styles, the New Palace was quite the opposite of the then-Neoclassical style that took place in Europe.
