sanssouci +

Discover the stunning Prussian palace of Sanssouci, once a summer residence for Friedrich the Great. The Sanssouci Palace exists today as a wonderful example of architecture coexisting with nature. Baroque gardens and sumptuous fountains tell the story of Prussian elegance but there is plenty more to see in the park. Visit the Chinese House and the Historic Mill, admire the Neptune Grotto and the Orangery Palace and, if visiting in summertime, enjoy the site lit up for the annual Night of the Palaces.
