Schloss Sanssouci was built in Rococo style by Frederic the Great as his summer pleasure palace between 1745 and 1748 above a vineyard in the countryside of Potsdam. The Sanssouci Park includes incredible gardens and several smaller palace buildings including the Neue Kammern (New Chambers), the Orangerie (Orangery Palace), the Chinesisches Haus (Chinese House) and the Schloss Charlottenhof (Charlottenhof Palace).
The Charlottenburg palace in Berlin is surrounded by baroque gardens and is full of fantastic art that hangs in the huge decorated halls of the palace which was built between 1695 and 1699, the porcelain collections at the Belvedere teahouse on the grounds is well worth seeing and mausoleum erected for Queen Luise is splendid. Walking through the parkgrounds and the palace buildings, you can easily imagine the elegant 18th and 19th century royalty preparing for waltzes or estate banquets.
