Sanssouci

Sanssouci (French "without cares") is the Palace and surrounding Park built in Potsdam, Germany by Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. He lived and kept his court here for some forty years. The Sanssouci Palace itself was built between 1745 and 1747; Voltaire stayed there for a long time. The audience chamber with its numerous fine paintings, the extensive library, beautiful gardens, the great fountain, and the statue of Frederick the Great make the site especially remarkable.
