Sanssouci Palace - Sanssouci Palace

Japanese: サンスーシ宮殿 - サンスーシきゅうでん
Sanssouci Palace - Sanssouci Palace
This Rococo palace stands in the northeastern part of the vast Sanssouci Park, which spreads west of Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, about 30 km southwest of Berlin, the capital of northeastern Germany. Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786), described as the Great, designed it himself as a summer palace, and Knobalsdorff began construction based on that design in 1745, completing it just two years later in 1747. Although it is a small palace with only one floor and 12 rooms, Frederick II used it as his castle rather than a summer palace. There is an "Oval Hall" in the center and "Circular Halls" on both ends, as well as a garden with a large windmill to the west. ◇"Sanssouci" is a French word meaning "without sorrow". For this reason, it is translated into Japanese as "Muyukyu" (Place of Worry).

Japanese:
ドイツ北東部の首都ベルリン(Berlin)の南西約30km、ブランデンブルク州の州都ポツダム(Potsdam)市街の西に広がる、広大なサンスーシ公園の北東部に建つロココ様式の宮殿。大王と形容されるプロイセンのフリードリヒ2世(1712~1786年)が夏の離宮として自ら設計し、クノーバルスドルフがその設計をもとに1745年に建設に着手し、わずか2年後の1747年に完成させた。1階建てで、部屋数も12室という小さな宮殿であるが、フリードリヒ2世はここを離宮ではなく居城として利用した。中央に「楕円の間」、両端に「円形の間」があるほか、西に大きな風車小屋がある庭園がある。◇「サンスーシ」は「憂いがない」という意味のフランス語。このため、日本では「無憂宮」と翻訳された。
