An evening stroll full of shine and history

The New Palace was built as the last royal palace of Frederick the Great in Sanssouci Park and served primarily for representative purposes and festive occasions. Inside, magnificent banquet halls, galleries, and originally preserved furnishings await, making the historical context immediately palpable. Especially in the evening, the Baroque palace unfolds its impressive effect between architecture, light, and historical depth.
