Sanssouci was the summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. While smaller than Versailles, it had numerous temples and follies in its park. Designed between 1745-1747 as a private residence for Frederick to relax away from court life, its name means "without worries". After World War II it became a tourist attraction in East Germany and following reunification it was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
