The story

Story · Chinese House

  • en

You're standing at the Chinese House, a tea pavilion in Sanssouci Park, about seven hundred metres southwest of the summer palace. Frederick the Great had it built to decorate his flower and vegetable garden. Take a slow walk around it. The building is shaped like a trefoil: a round core with three rooms, and open spaces in between under a rolling copper tent roof.
