Sans Souci

Possibly the most awe inspiring site I've seen thus far has been the royal retreat, Sans Souci. Translated from French, Sans Souci means No Worries. After WWII, many of Germany's historic structures were decimated into little more than rubble. Currently a number of these buildings have been rebuilt to look as though they were authentic; none of which have the gravitas of an original. Sans Souci is one of the few original buildings that survived the war.

It is amazing to see the detail craftsmen were able to achieve, without the use of modern tools. These types of structures took many years to complete. Whereas today even the largest of undertakings are completed in less than 10 years.

The royal guest house is located further into the gardens, and is almost as breath taking as the main palace.
