Park Sanssouci

Park Sanssouci is a wonderful historic park in the city of Potsdam, which lies 30 minutes from Berlin. It is named after the summer palace built by Frederick the Great and was later extended by Frederick William IV. Sans soucis literally means "without worries," and a day in this park will surely allow you to unwind. Sanssouci and its buildings are often referred to as the Versailles of Germany. Besides the summer palace the park also hosts several other beautiful buildings like Schloss Charlottenhof, Neues Palais, Chinesische Haus and a collection of statues in the garden. The park and its palaces are a World Heritage Site protected by UNESCO. For more information on what the park has to offer, please visit the website.

Babelsberg Park

The beautiful park of Babelsberg lies in the city of Potsdam in Germany. This lovely park was created by Peter Joseph Lenné, who was a landscape artist, and Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau. Lying on a slope which goes down to the lake, this gorgeous park is managed by the Berlin-Brandenburg Foundation for Prussian Palaces and Gardens. There are a few paths, including the Berlin Wall Way, which are open for cycling.

Orangery Palace

Commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm IV, Orangery Palace was built between 1851 and 1864. Construction of this mighty edifice started after the initial blueprint submitted by Friedrich Wilhelm IV. Noted architects Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse and Friedrich August Stuler were brought on board to erect the palace as per Friedrich's designs. Orangery Palace features a High Renaissance architectural style. It consists of servants' apartments, royal halls, marble statues and two other halls to keep potted plants.

New Palace

Built in 1763, New Palace was raised to mark the success of Prussia in the Seven Years' War. Accentuated by its fabulous Baroque and Rococo architecture, the palace was built as a reception for visiting dignitaries and noblemen. The extravagance of its exteriors are complemented perfectly by its grandiose interiors which feature walls encrusted with shells and precious stones.

Belvedere on the Pfingstberg

Belvedere on the Pfingstberg was built by Frederick William IV around the year 1850. Frederick William IV built Belvedere on the Pfingstberg as per his own designs on account of the spellbinding views offered by the palace, located atop a hill. William was highly inspired during his Rome trip in the year 1829 and conceived a design for Belvedere on the Pfingstberg, highly influenced by what he saw in the Italian town. Based on the sketches submitted by the king, noted architects Ludwig Ferdinand Hessian and Friedrich August Stuler created a detailed architectural plan for Belvedere on the Pfingstberg. Today, this magnificent structure also hosts several concerts and other events.

Sanssouci Palace

The word Sanssouci means "without concerns", a sentiment that is embodied by the magnificent Sanssouci Palace. Sanssouci was the summer palace of the King of Prussia, Frederick the Great. The palace was constructed in 1747 and was fashioned according to the king's wishes. Behind the spectacular facade lie richly adorned Rococo halls and chambers. The palace is set atop terraced vineyards at the heart of the Sanssouci Park, akin to a jewel laid to rest on an expanse of verdant velvet. So deep was the king's love for his summer retreat, that upon his death he wished to be buried here, a wish that was finally fulfilled in 1991. The palace remains a popular tourist attraction, as well as a venue for cultural events. Visit King Frederick's most beloved home and witness for yourself the awe-inspiring beauty of this royal abode.
