The Sanssouci palace was the summer residence of Frederick the Great. It was built above the terraced vineyard from 1745 to 1747 by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff following the King`s ideas and sketches. The palace is judged to be the major work of rococo architecture in Germany. In the picture gallery paintings by Watteau, Panini and Pesne are on exhibit.
