New Palace

The New Palace in Potsdam, Germany, is an exemplary showcase of Prussian Baroque architecture, completed in 1769 under Frederick the Great. For photo-travelers, the palace's façade offers a stunning perspective with its vibrant sandstone, intricate sculptures, and a prominent central dome crowned by a brass globe. Inside, the Grotto Hall stands out, adorned with over 24,000 shells and semi-precious stones creating a unique ambiance. The Marble Hall, a masterpiece of neoclassical design, provides striking contrast. Seek out the frescoes depicting allegorical and mythical themes—ideal for capturing light-play and period opulence.
