Palace of Potsdam


I’ll talk about the history of Palace of Potsdam.
In Potsdam and Berlin, many palaces and parks have been kept since 18th or 19th century, and in 1990, they were recognized as a World Cultural Heritage Site.


Charlottenburg Palace today is the largest and the most important residence of the Hohenzollern in Berlin. They were originally built as a summer detached palace of a queen of Prussia Sophie Charlotte.

Sans Souci palace was built by order of the second Frederick from 1945 to 1947. And after the Seven Years’ War, near it the palace like the Palace of Versailles was built. It is called New Palace. It is built in rococo style.
