Berlin: Private Guide Tour of Potsdam - Private Tour by Car

THE UNESCO-WORLD HERITAGE PARK SANSSOUCI UNITES GARDEN ART WITH ARCHITECTURE, TERRACES, SCULPTURES AND FOUNTAINS IN ART-FILLED STAGINGS OF NATURE
SANSSOUCI PALACE
Prussian King Frederick II (“the Great”, 1712–1786) loved his charming palace above the vineyard terraces as his private refuge. He resided “carefree” in these rooms decorated in the Friderician style.

NORMAN TOWER
Antique ruins at Sanssouci? This Roman-inspired backdrop architecture, built for Frederick the Great in 1748, was designed for its picturesque effect from a distance. The Norman (lookout) tower was added 100 years later.

PICTURE GALLERY OF SANSSOUCI
The sculptural decoration around the windows of the garden façade, which makes a theme of the arts and sciences, refer to the inside of the building: In the splendid gallery hall, you may admire the valuable painting collection of Frederick the Great.

NEPTUNE GROTTO
A jewel of Frederician garden design: Neptune, god of the sea, is enthroned above the portal of the fountain arrangement with its shell-shaped marble basin.
Shells of mother-of-pearl, painted reed flowers and crystal shimmer inside the grotto.

OBELISK
Fantasy hieroglyphs adorn the obelisk which, each together with two double rows of pillars, comprise the Obelisk Portal at the eastern entrance to the park. At the foot of the pillars, the goddesses Flora and Fauna set the mood for your
visit to the park.

CHURCH OF PEACE
Early Christian basilicas in Rome inspired King Frederick William IV (1795–1861) to this ensemble at the Marly Garden. The campanile, 42 meters in height, towers over the Church of Peace with its cloister
and atrium.

FIRST RONDEL
The main axis between the obelisk and the New Palace is structured with hedge-lined enclosures. The First Rondel displays busts of two Roman emperors and four
Africans in antique robes.

GREAT FOUNTAIN
Twelve marble sculptures constitute the French Rondel around the Great Fountain in the garden parterre of Sanssouci Park.

CHINESE HOUSE
Clear the stage for the Rococo presentation of the Chinese style: Resting in the niches of the garden pavilion are “Chinese” groups of figures in exotic costumes.

ROMAN BATHS
Italy as a place of longing: Inspired by 15th-century Italian country estates, the architects Schinkel and Persius created the Roman ensemble of buildings and gardens for Crown Prince Frederick William IV, who became king in 1840.

CHARLOTTENHOF VILLA
This summer residence of the Crown Prince Frederick William IV and Crown Princess Elisabeth reveals itself to be an elegant villa in the Classicist style rising above the grounds with terraces, colonnade, gardens and fountains.

TEMPLE OF FRIENDSHIP
Frederick the Great dedicated this pavilion rotunda to his favorite
sister Wilhelmine: The marble statue shows her as the Margravine of Bayreuth, and the medallion images on the columns commemorate famous friendship couples from Antiquity.

NEW PALACE
Frederick the Great referred to this representative palace topped with a cupola and adorned with hundreds of sculptures, which he used for his
guests as a “fanfaronade” (boastful ostentation).
