Welcome to the visitor centre at the New Palace! The centre offers visitors the opportunity to prepare for or round off their visit to the New Palace and Sanssouci Park.
Tickets, including combination tickets and annual passes, as well as event tickets, are available at the ticket office. The visitor centre also has a museum shop selling books and products related to the palaces and gardens and the history of Prussia. At the rear of the building, Café Caroline invites you to take a break with coffee and snacks. A relaxation room is also available for guests.
At the interactive touch table, a model of Sanssouci Park, plans and background information on the various locations in the park can be accessed. In addition, there is a barrier-free bronze cast model of Sanssouci Park in front of the building, which enables blind and visually impaired people to explore the park tactilely.

The listed south gate building was constructed in 1768/69 according to Carl von Gontard's design as a guardhouse for the New Palace. In the course of its eventful history, parts of the building have served as the Imperial Building Office, as apartments, as office and storage space, and as a laundry, among other things. As part of the Special Investment Programme 1, the building underwent extensive renovation and reopened in 2013 as a visitor centre for the New Palace.
