Sanssouci
Frederick the Great’s small summer palace in Potsdam, set on terraces with vineyards.
Frederick the Great had Sanssouci, whose name means carefree, built as a place to withdraw to. The architect Knobelsdorff designed the palace and the terraces, where wine and fruit were grown.
The palace is an example of Rococo in Prussia. The park around it has since been extended with several palaces and pavilions.
Materials: Six vine terraces, fountains, sculptures and pavilions
Manufacture: Laid out 1745–1747 for Frederick the Great in Potsdam, outside Berlin.
