A historical garden view of the New Palace
On September 16, 2026, a special window into garden history opens in Potsdam: A Summer Garden for Victoria takes visitors from the meeting point at the Visitor Center New Palace into the world of Crown Princess Victoria, head gardener Emil Sello, and the palace grounds. The tour combines architecture, landscape, and court culture into a lively event experience.
Garden art meets Prussian history
The tour tells how the palace grounds were created starting in 1864 and how the collaboration between the garden-enthusiast Crown Princess and Emil Sello resulted in a garden concept that is still felt today. Those interested in historical sites, garden monument preservation, and the atmosphere of the UNESCO World Heritage site will experience a tour with depth and strong imagery.
An appointment for explorers and culture fans
The event is aimed at visitors who want to not only see Potsdam but understand it. Speaker Gerd Schurig, former curator for garden monument preservation of the SPSG, expertly contextualizes the historical connections and draws attention to details that are easily overlooked in everyday life. This creates a target audience engagement that appeals to culture enthusiasts as well as people with an appreciation for garden spaces and historical staging.
Meeting point with a special backdrop
The starting point is the Visitor Center New Palace at Am Neuen Palais 3 in Potsdam. The surroundings at the edge of Sanssouci Park already provide an impressive event atmosphere before the start. Bus connections to New Palace and paid parking options in the area of Am Neuen Palais are available for travel.
Tickets and participation
The participation fee is 10.00 euros. Tickets are only available in advance. This keeps the group manageable and the tour retains its calm, focused character. This clear organization makes the event experience pleasant and easily accessible.
Conclusion
A Summer Garden for Victoria combines historical garden culture, substantial knowledge, and the special atmosphere of the New Palace into a coherent excursion into Potsdam's past. Those who seek a precisely guided visit with atmosphere should not miss this appointment and experience the tour live.
