New Chambers of Sanssouci
To the info page of the venue
Located directly next to Sanssouci Palace, the New Chambers served Frederick the Great as a magnificent guest palace, which the king had redesigned from a former orangery building in 1771–74. The rich, late Rococo interior decoration has been preserved.
Splendid festival halls with luxurious interior decoration were created in the New Chambers – as the palace was known thereafter. Guest apartments, whose marquetry chambers are particularly notable, were located on the west side. The rich interior design of the New Chambers is of exquisite beauty and quality.
Special presentation in the New Chambers of Sanssouci
from 10. September to 6. October 2024
We are excited to share with you that during your visit there will be a special presentation of an artwork by the internationally applauded artist Tino Sehgal. “This joy” is an immersive movement and auditory experience, where excerpts from six pieces of music by Beethoven, including the famous “Ode to Joy” are reinterpreted by two performers. With this artwork we invite you to experience the New Chambers as they would have been originally experienced—with music and dancing for special guests. Information specific to the palace history will be available to read; important note our Multi-Media Guide App for this period (from 10. September to 6. October) will not be available. More information about this special event can be found here: www.spsg.de/thisjoy.

This price includes entry to the respective palace for the group as well as, depending on availability, a personal guided tour, an audio guide tour, or the use of an app via a personal technical device (e.g., smartphone).
If the number of participants exceeds the maximum limit for the program, the group will be divided. Each subgroup will be allocated a specific entry time, and the group price will be calculated accordingly per subgroup. For some palaces, an additional fee is offered for the second entry time slot, up to a certain number of persons. This fee cannot be booked separately.
There is no minimum number of participants for a group booking. Programs can be offered in various languages, including personal tours in German and English, as well as the use of audio guides and tours in the SANSSOUCI app with additional language versions. Further information about the tours and language versions can be found in the current group price list.
If groups are accompanied by a licensed tour guide from the SPSG, a 10% discount is granted on the group package price. This discount does not apply to group bookings with an audio guide. Special openings for groups are possible upon request outside the regular opening hours of the palaces. The price for a special opening consists of the group price, a special opening fee, and, if applicable, additional personnel costs.
