Sanssouci in Potsdam, Germany, is a historic palace that served as the summer residence of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. Built between 1745 and 1747, the palace exemplifies the Rococo style with its ornate architecture and elaborate interiors. Sanssouci, which means "without a care" in French, reflects Frederick's desire for a place of retreat and relaxation away from the pressures of court life. The palace is surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, terraces, and fountains, making it a key attraction in the extensive Sanssouci Park.
