New Chambers of Sanssouci: A barrier-free castle experience full of splendor and history
This tour in the New Chambers of Sanssouci invites you to a special discovery experience in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site Potsdam. On September 13, 2026, at 10:30 AM, the castle opens its doors for an encounter with Frederickian Rococo, royal guest apartments, and vibrant local history.
A castle for royal guests
The New Chambers originated from an orangery building that Frederick the Great transformed into a guest castle in 1768. Behind the modest façade unfolds an impressive sequence of richly decorated rooms that make the splendor of the 18th century immediately tangible. Particularly notable are the Jasper Hall, the Ovid Gallery, and the Green Lacquer Cabinet.
Easy language, clear paths, great impact
The tour is offered by employees of the Oberlin Workshops Potsdam in collaboration with the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation. The format in Easy Language makes the city tour in the castle particularly accessible and creates cultural enrichment for guests who wish to experience history in an understandable and illustrative way. The event location is wheelchair accessible and thus well suited for an inclusive audience.
Architecture, art, and Frederickian spatial art
The New Chambers are considered a late work of Frederickian Rococo. Antique busts, gilded reliefs, precious wood paneling, and painted views of Potsdam come together to create an atmosphere that offers art history to touch. Those interested in architecture, courtly living culture, and the cultural heritage of Prussia will experience a tour with special depth here.
