Outside of Berlin is the city of Postdam, which is known for the palace of Sanssouci. This was the summer palace of Frederick the Great.

1. Sanssouci- Only has eleven rooms in the whole palace. Frederick would have visitors occasionally; however, it was mainly for his private pleasure. Even his wife was not permitted to visit!

2. ‘Ancient’ Ruins- During the time this palace was built, ‘ancient’ ruins were considered posh and a way to emulate Roman culture. These are not actual ruins, rather, built just for the purpose of the Roman way.

3. Chinesisches Haus (The Chinese House0- This was the tea room, with a mixture of Rococo and Chinese oriental architecture.

4. Neues Palais (New Palace)- This is known to be the largest Prussian Baroque Palace.

5. Hollaändisches Viertel (Dutch Quarter)- I thought this was magnificent! The architecture reminds me of Haarlem.
