New Palace, Baroque palace in Potsdam, Germany.

The Neues Palais features over 200 rooms decorated with minerals, seashells, and marble elements distributed across three connected wings.

Frederick II of Prussia commissioned the palace construction between 1763 and 1769 to display the kingdom's strength after the Seven Years' War.

The palace theater in the southern wing presents performances in its original 18th-century setting with period stage machinery and decorations.

Visitors can access the palace daily except Tuesdays from 10:00 AM, with guided tours available in multiple languages at the entrance.

The Grotto Hall contains more than 24,000 seashells, minerals, and gemstones covering its walls in intricate patterns.
