“Schloss Sanssouci” near Potsdam was built by the Prussian king Friedrich der Große (Frederic the Great) in the 18th century. It’s one of the most famous and biggest palaces built in the style of rococo and was used as a summer residence. Sans souci is French, the most popular language among the German nobility at that time, and means “ohne Sorge” (without worries). Schloss Sanssouci is part of the World Cultural Heritage and is worth a visit when you’re in the area.
