Message from Alex Sazonov

Sanssouci Palace, located in Potsdam near Berlin, was built by Prussian King Frederick the Great as his summer retreat. Designed in the Rococo style by architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, the palace is known for its intimate size and picturesque setting in a terraced hill overlooking vineyards. The name "Sanssouci" means "without worries," reflecting Frederick's desire for a carefree escape from royal duties. With just ten rooms, the palace served as a private residence for the king and his guests during the summer months. Today, Sanssouci and its gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors from around the world to admire its elegant architecture and tranquil surroundings.
