Chateau / Schloss Sanssouci (All rooms & Grounds Tour in Potsdam)

[@kenichinishikawa7007]

I visited Sans-Souci palace about 27 years ago. This video reminds me good memories of my visit. I hope to visit it again.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

hope nothing changed in the 27 years!

[@cynthialambert9067]

How lovely. No wonder they called him "the Great." He was a real renaissance man. Thanks for the tour, Curtis!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Cynthia!

[@kinga3731]

16:50 if you go to the left here (around 30 m), there's also a beautiful gallery with many famous paintings, for example Caravaggio's. :) Also, in 17:29 you can see potatoes on Friedrich's grave - people bring them to show their gratitude since it was Friedrich who introduced potatoes to Germany.

[@mariak9727]

🥰Very interesting, thank you!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

I would have visited but not enough time !

[@gitte600]

Amelia missed you , wow what a palace.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thank you Arne

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

That’s some palace! Amelia missed her daddies so much so couldn’t contain herself!🥹

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

she always welcomes us like that !

[@jacquelinejeffs4079]

I love to hear you talk about history about everything you are a wonderful speaker and how you explain everything thank you for showing us the history especially if you can’t get there

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

haha thanks, even though this is not my best subject

[@lorettagerull6340]

The Summer Palace (Schloss) tour you gave to us was exceptional. Potsdam is very beautiful. Your videography was capturing along with your voice. The light in Potsdam is pure . There are many smaller schloss’s in the surrounding area. They were designed and strategically placed to all be seen when one is at one of the Schloss’s. As in a vortex. Magical place. Thank you 🙏

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Potsdam is stunning

[@davidfaulkner8201]

A wonderful video ! A very unique and beautiful palace . The decor is over the top . I will have to do some reading up on Fredrick the 2nd he sounds like one of the more enlightened monarchs of the 18th century . Little Amelia's reaction was priceless .

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

he is a very interesting king!

[@annettesharrock1236]

Wow wow Curtis what a magnificent palace. The architecture the paintings absolutely every thing is beautiful. AWH your dog had missed you bless. Merci Beaucoup Cutis😘

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Merci. Annette

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

This palace is gorgeous. Such an interesting and talented King. Love his music and garden designs. So appreciate all your history knowledge. Amelia missed her dads. So sweet 😍

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thank you Rosemarie :D

[@flowergalpower2681]

So beautiful 💗

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

[@murielwilson809]

thank you Curtis for a great video the palace is stunning its just unbelievable the amount if work they did in that time period to design there homes the time it must of taken to create those wall and ceiling paintings thank you again for taking us on your tour

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

indeed, it was a very detailed chateau

[@donnasteinberg1398]

Sanssouci is fabulous! It is interesting that it is only 10 rooms.Well done and thanks for sharing😘

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

the staff area was bigger than the living areas

[@tinaprentice2136]

Wow 😮 the palace is absolutely gorgeous, the structure, artwork, interior design and the sculptures are magnificent thank you Curtis for the sharing the history and knowledge of the extraordinary palace ❤️🫶🏼

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Tina!

[@catherinesteele598]

WOW! Magnificent! Thank you so much.One happy Amelia at the end.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Catherine

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Absolutely stunning!! I can't even! And the red hibiscus...ok you made my heart happy today, Curtis! And Amelia so excited and telling you both how much she missed you was the perfect fade to black. TY!!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Cynthia! And I was so happy to see hibiscus there too

[@mimamo]

Thank you for the wonderful impressions. :) One thing about Nefertiti though: I'm German, I adore ancient Egyptian art, and I of course know of the Bust of Nefertiti (Nofretete in German by the way), however most of my countrymen won't. Many might recognize her on an image, but they likely wouldn't know her name, nor would they know where she's even located (in Neues Museum). She's probably one of Berlin's most famous museal attractions, but she is not considered a "symbol of Germany". This is the very first time I have heard someone call her this. She'd deserve it though, since she's such an icon. :)

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks! Actually I have heard many people call her that, she is exploited quite a lot but the museum I feel.

[@s.c.9878]

That was lovely!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

why thank you!

[@angelshaw7357]

A most exquisite presentation of the Chateau Summer Palace of Schloss Sanssousi! 💖 It is mesmerizing to view each elaborate detail of this remarkable Palace perfectly preserved since 1745! Wow! 💖

[@LCNWA]

Amazing to look back understand contemperaries of their time on earth. Catherine the Greatwas also a big Voltire fan & of the Rocco period & both were of German decent! More alike than different yet fought wars against each other almost entire life.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

;)

[@lindawentink2725]

What a beautiful building. Love the gold work all over, exquisite. Wonderful that he didnt let his father squash his passion for beauty. Oh my heart, Amelia s welcome🥰

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

good on him Linda!

[@mariak9727]

Curtis! Expertly filmed!! 😍Its amazing how well preserved since 1745!! Beautiful music you chose that king Frederick composed!!💖💖

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks! I wanted to use his music in his home!

[@jinnigroesbeck2695]

very well done....thank you !!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks so much Jinni!

[@carmeladeck6948]

Beautiful thank you for showing us such a fabulous Palace. Your dog Emelia was so happy to see you both that she had to sing for you.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

she was!!!

[@hannahwhite3825]

Amazing ❤ Thanks Curtis so much for sharing your experience 💫

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Hannah!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

That garden! Beautiful palace. I would love to see a performance of one of the King's operas. Thank you for the video Curtis. I am so appreciative of your videos which reach the heights of artistic value. Have an amazing weekend!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks so much Daniel!

[@ElectroT0y]

Beautiful video. WOW! Amelia sure gave you and your husband an earful for leaving her! LOL

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

she was thrilled Lilith

[@SculptyWorks]

Sanssouci is such a beautiful place! I always thought it somehow managed to be 'cozy' while still being a luxurious royal palace. Your dog was so happy to see you, that was so cute! ❤❤

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

[@pamkullman8839]

what a beautiful and interesting castle. The Voltaire room was magical! I love a randomly planted garden! Amelia is the best dog! She missed you guys! ❤

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

hehe she missed us sooo much

[@jeanmkaufmann]

The palace is stunning and the music perfect for the tour. King Frederick was a Renaissance Man. Amelia's response to your return was great. 🙂🇨🇦

[@mariannenygaard1861]

It’s such a wonderful place. As a travel guide for a Danish company I visited the castle many times. Thank you Curtis for allowing me on your guided tour ❤️

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Glad you enjoyed it Marianne!

[@JustBen81]

Right next to Sanssouci was always where Friedrich II wanted to be buried without a large vermony. This wish was ignored and he was buried right next to his estranged father with a state funeral. Only in the early 90ies his coffin was moved to Potsdam (it was moved from berljn to Southern Germany during world War II) . Now he's resting right next to his his beloved dogs (who are resting in the other graves visible in the video).

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks true, his grave is very subtle

[@lucillkryger8268]

Enjoyed your journey of the Palace and the beautiful gardens in Germany was absolutely enchanting thank you for taking us with you ! Amelia was so happy to see you they are so loyal. Hugs to you 3. 🐾❤️❤️💐🥰🥰🍷🍷🇨🇦

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Lucill

[@andreacatzel8259]

Oh daaaaahling Amelia…… singing with excitement! Precious pup! Beautiful episode, Curtis. Exquisite Schloss and gardens, beautifully filmed and narrated! ❤️

[@IRSA1]

What a feast for the eyes and ears that was, and flawlessly able to convey the beauty of this very personal palace. Interesting to hear that the much admired French philosopher Voltaire was a guest there. In the run up to my baccalauréat , I was made to write many an essay based on his very perceptive quotations. Thank you for this, Curtis.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks! He and Voltaire were good friends ;)

[@janehampton6717]

Stunning, thank you Curtis 💖

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

thanks Jane!

[@davidlogan4329]

THank you so much Curtis for bringing back such happy memories for me of beautiful Postdam and Sans Souci. The palace and gardens are simply wonderful. Your film making is too along with your fantastic commentary. Loved seeing excitable Amelia on your return. What a beautiful doggy indeed.

[@mariedupuis7802]

Super interesting video. The castle is gorgeous, all the decoration is stunning. This king had no chance with his father during his youth, he was very cruel with him, he certainly has found more satisfaction with arts...Amelia is so happy to see you again, she can t stop talking ! She is so cute...A big hello from France

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

so glad he enjoyed his life toward the end Marie

[@ehpeachylove]

What a sensational palace . Thank you for sharing your trip . The gardens were beautiful. I enjoyed this so much. Amelia was so happy to see you both. She always makes me smile.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

Thank you curtis for your wonderful vlog of Berlin. It was especially interesting for me as my family migrated from there to Australia in 1960. Your commentary and explanations of the palace was first class. I have been an avid follower of your vlogs since you started. Looking forward to the next one. Kudos Curtis 👏 💐 xxx

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

aw thanks Gaby, glad you enjoyed this one!

[@vanessabolourforosh1665]

Beautiful palace! And the best thing about it was Amelia meeting you at the end!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

[@mikeinsalaco]

I've been enjoying your videos. I visited Sans Souci in 2004 and it occurred to me that I was tremendously influenced by photographs I saw in school textbooks in my youth. Your video brought back memories of my visit to one such place.

[@lisaakinlabi]

LOL Love that you found Nefertiti on your tour! 🤣 Someone love gold leaf it that palace - stunning! Thanks for sharing!

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

[@susanneking2524]

Oh Amelia! So sweet.

[@davidcaldecoat7414]

Amazing architecture and just a bit fancy beautiful gardens the outside kind of reminds me of Hadrians villa. I guess no matter where you go I guess you can always find egyptian revival anywhere.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

[@lavonnemountain6133]

Magnificent t tour and the gardens. You are a knowledgeable guide. What a gift for me!

[@franpie2264]

Hi CR. What was Amelia complaining about on the way home in the car😲were you late? ☺ I found the palace rooms a bit creepy with all that gold creeping up the walls and ceiling like mould. To each his own but not for me. I did like the duck pond though, that was nice. Thanks for the tour ciao. Fran💙

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

haha she was just happy Fran ;)

[@magdalenacallender1219]

Can you please tell us about the champagne glasses 🥂 please.

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

hahaha It might be a bit rude, but it was meant to have been inspired by Marie A's beast

[@stankovamarcela7406]

Amelia is the best 🥰

[@CurtisRyanWoodside]

she is!
