Some people have referred to it as "the Versailles of Germany", but Sanssouci isn't quite as large; the reference is likely to one of the most beautiful & scenic palace grounds and gardens found, along with several temples and follies. Located in Potsdam, Germany, Sansoucci is actually one of several palaces built in the area known as Sanssouci Park.
Commissioned by Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, as a summer palace he could retreat to and it wase opened in 1747. Along with the residence, there is an elaborate terraced garden that was designed to grow grapes for his own wine, plums and figs.
We started a very short visit before doing the inside tour of the palace (for which we will have another video upload), then did a very leisurely detailed walkabout of the grounds and garden area, with the magnificent statues and fountain, after the tour.
As mentioned before, Sanssouci is only one of several palaces within the park & I have videos up of the Neues Palais (New Palace), the Orangery Palace, as well as the exotic Chinese House pavilion and other points of interest. If you wish, you can read more about all of them by clicking this link to Wikipedia:

As is our custom, Ed did all of the great camcorder filming and any narrations heard, while I did all of the still photography, chose the music, edited it all and uploaded to You Tube.
