List of tourist attractions in Potsdam

April 11, 2024

The following is a list of sights of Potsdam, the capital of the German state of Brandenburg in Germany.

1871 view of the city with the Garrison Church, Stadtschloss and St. Nicholas' Church
Sanssouci Palace and the vineyard.

Sanssouci Park edit

The historic park of Sanssouci covers an area of about 290 hectares and is thus the largest and best known in the March of Brandenburg. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Frederick the Great and Frederick William IV influenced the park in the contemporary architectural styles of Rococo and Classicism and had an artistic synthesis of architecture and gardens constructed, whose centrepiece is the vineyard terraces and the palace of Sanssouci that crowns them.

New Garden edit

The New Garden (Neuer Garten) is a park, roughly 100 ha in area, that lies in the north of Potsdam and borders on the lakes of Heiliger See and the Jungfernsee. In 1787 Frederick William II had a new garden laid out on this site, hence the name. The park was intended to reflect the prevailing fashion for the English garden, in contrast to the outmoded style of the Baroque ornamental and vegetable garden at Sanssouci.

  • New Garten (Neuer Garten) (laid out from 1787)
  • Marble Palace (Marmorpalais) (1787 to 1792)
