Sanssouci Palace
The palace overlooks its terraced vineyard in Sanssouci Park. Compose from a permitted path and include the terraces to show the relationship between building and garden.
Search Google MapsNew Palace
The New Palace stands at the western end of Sanssouci Park’s main avenue. Give its long façade room in a wide frame, then look for a tighter architectural detail. The roof is being restored in stages, which may change the exterior view; check the latest information before visiting.
Search Google MapsChinese House
The pavilion in Sanssouci Park is surrounded by gilded figures. Photograph the exterior from a park path, using the figures to draw attention to the building’s shape.
Search Google MapsDutch Quarter
Brick houses and gables define the Dutch Quarter. Look along a street for a sequence of façades, or crop in on a window and the surrounding brickwork.
