Travel Photos of Brandenburg

Brandenburg in pictures: the royal palaces and gardens of Potsdam. Frederick the Great built Sanssouci Palace as his summer home, and its French name means without worries. The small yellow palace sits on top of terraced vineyards above a large park. At the other end of the park, the New Palace is much larger, with about 200 rooms and a huge central dome. Frederick built it after the Seven Years’ War to show the power of Prussia. The palaces and parks of Potsdam are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
