The powerful Orangery Palace towers upon a ridge not far from the Visitor’s Center at the Historic Windmill. Commissioned by Frederick William IV in 1851–64, the building was based on Italian models. The palace is flanked by two greenhouse wings. The magnificent interiors are largely preserved in their original condition. The Raphael Hall, with the largest assembled collection of copies by the famous Italian master, is of particular renown. The generously laid out terraces in front of the palace lead invitingly into Sanssouci Park.

Booking Policies
We offer a flat rate for groups limited to a maximum number of participants. The group rate always includes fees for group admission to the individual palaces, as well as a personal tour guide or audio guides.
If the number of participants exceeds the maximum size allowed, the group will be divided. Each group is allotted an admission time. The group flat rate is calculated per tour group. At some palaces, we offer a surplus fee up to a specific number of participants for the second guided tour. The surplus fee flat rate cannot be booked as an individual service.
There is no minimum number of participants required for a group tour.
Guided tours can be booked in a variety of languages. The bookings of a respective language are carried out subject to availability of tour guides and cannot be guaranteed.
We offer a 10 % discount from the group price for the groups accompanied by a guide licensed by the SPSG. The discount does not apply to group bookings / group tours with audio guide.
Special arrangements for groups outside the scheduled opening hours are possible on request. In addition to the group fee for a guided tour, extra charges apply for a special opening.
