Masonic Perspectives in the Sanssouci Park
Six terraces, the four elements, the royal tomb in the east, what does all that have to do with Freemasonry?
During this tour, you will learn more about King Frederick II and his influence on the Sanssouci Park. Being a place of tranquility and inspiration, the park not only mirrors the king’s love for art and architecture but also his allegiance to Freemasonry. We will take a look at the symbolic elements and philosophical ideas behind the design of the park and its buildings, and discover in what way these aspects are connected to Frederick’s personal worldview and his masonic affiliation.
