Palace Sanssouci, Potsdam<br> Berlin picture - The German 'Versailles'. Sanssouci is the French for 'carefree'. Frederick the Great, who built the place, kept the French word rather than adopting a German translation. He built the palace from 1745 to 1747 to relax and forget for a while the burden of his responsibilities, hence the name.
