Sanssouci, which translated from French as “carefree,” is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. Located in Potsdam, near Berlin, Sanssouci is often referred to as one of Germany’s answers to Versailles. Although it is much smaller than Versailles and different in style, Sanssouci is notable for its large variety of temples and follies. Despite its size, Sanssouci is essentially an enormous one-story villa.
