Sanssouci Castle was built by Fredrick the Great and then expanded by his successors over a period of 100 years. The castle consists of twelve spacious, magnificently furnished rooms which still can be visited.

There are Dutch, French and Sicilian gardens and on the other side of the Maulbeerallee, a dark, nordic garden. The southern part of the park was created in the style of an English landscape garden by Peter Josef Lenné in the 19th century.

Get to know the 18th and 19th centuries as you walk around the castles, for example the New Palais with more than 200 rooms, the Picture Gallery or the New Cambers, built as a guest house when the king realised, that Sanssouci Castle could not host all his visitors.
The influence of Italian architecture can be seen in the Friedenskirche, the Orangerie, the Roman baths and Schloss Charlottenhof. The Chinese influence is reflected in the Drachenhaus, a five-storey pagoda, and the Chinese Teahouse.

Get a glimpse of the history of Prussia and the state of Brandenburg when you visit the craftsmen at the pottery works, the glass blower at the Johann Knuckel glassworks, pewter makers, the court brewery, distillery and the royal bakery.
The royal bakery offers freshly baked specialities and the brewery serves seasonal Brandenburg dishes.

Open daily from 10 am.

On the banks of the Heiligen See, the king had a marble palace built in early classic style. A pyramid was erected just a few steps away. Learn its secret while walking around the park!

This historical important ensemble consists of the Pomona Temple built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the Belvedere by the architects Ludwig Persius, Friedrich Stüler and Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse (based on plans by Frederick William IV) and the gardens created by Peter Joseph Lenné. All within easy access by foot from the castle.

It was the summer residence of Kaiser William I. From Flatow Tower you will have a wonderful view of the entire park, Potsdam culture and the Havel landscape.

The quarter would become the new home for the Russian singers of the 1st Prussian guards regiment. The houses are surrounded by generously arranged gardens. The orthodox church ‚Alexander-Newski-Kirche’ was built for the Russian guests in the north of their area. 1999 the quarter was declared as UNESCO world cultural heritage. Enjoy Russian culture in the midst of Brandenburg by visiting the quarter and church, the museum and the Russian restaurant serving typical Russian dishes.

It consists of four blocks with about 150 red brick houses in Dutch style – unplastered, with white seams, window shutters and some with sweeping gables.

This ensemble of buildings is unique in Europe and was built from 1734 to 1742 for Dutch craftsmen, who had been invited to come to Potsdam by King Frederick William I, the Soldier King.
