My top 5 Prussian palaces & Residences are mainly in Potsdam, 40 minutes from Berlin, Germany.
1. Chinese House: located in Potsdam in the Sanssouci Park.
A small garden pavilion created in 1756 for smaller court gatherings.
Reopened after 2 years of renovation, it is shaped in a form of a cloverleaf: a circular hall and there are small Chambers.
Ticket price: 6€ or a daily combined ticket for all the palaces in Potsdam ( 22euros)
2. New Chambers: located in Potsdam in the Sanssouci Park.
Impressive palace with two different moods:
- the western Wing is made of four reception halls ( jasper hall, Ovid Gallery, Porcelain Hall and blue one) which are amazing. A really must-see while in Sanssouci.
-the eastern wing is composed of guest rooms (bedrooms and living rooms).
Ticket price: 6€ or a daily combined ticket for all the palaces in Potsdam ( 22euros)
3. Charlottenburg Palace located in Berlin is composed of 2 palaces.
The new wing with its long enfilade of 13 rooms ends with a huge Porcelain Room and a Chapel.
The new wing has magnificent interiors like the Golden Gallery.
A really worth-visit while in Berlin.
Ticket price: 12€ each or 19€ the combined ticket.
4. Picture Gallery located in Potsdam, in the Sanssouci Park.
If the facade is relatively simple design, the interiors are adorned with white and yellow Italian marble, opulent gilding and sculptures. The paintings were mostly acquired for this building.
This is the oldest Royal Museum still in use in Germany.
Ticket price: 6€ or a daily combined ticket for all the palaces in Potsdam ( 22euros)
5. Rheinsberg Palace, in the mark Brandenburg
When entering the palace you feel like being in a different world. I loved the rooms in neoclassic and Frederician rococo styles. It was the house of Prince Henry, Frederic the Great’s brother.
Ticket price: 10€

Caravaggio (Italian, 1571-1610)
The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, ca.1601-02
Sanssouci Picture Gallery
Thomas the Apostle—often referred to as “Doubting Thomas”—was one of the twelve main disciples of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of John, Thomas famously doubted Jesus’ resurrection, telling the other disciples, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe” (John 20:25).
Jesus then appeared and offered to let him do just that.
Upon seeing Jesus in the flesh with his own eyes (and possibly touching the wounds), Thomas proclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Jesus responded with one of the most powerful and prophetic statements about faith in all of Scripture: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29).

Sculptures on the majestic garden facade of the glorious picture gallery in Sanssouci Park, Potsdam. The structure was built in the mid 18th century to house the vast art collection of Frederick the Great. Today, 140 masterpieces are gathered inside, with works by the likes of Caravaggio, Van Dyck and Rubens, plus an impressive collection of 18th century French sculpture. Slide 3 - The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, Caravaggio, c. 1602.

The von Beilschmidt home
So I downloaded a whole lot of CC from HeyHarrie, watched some sims 4 build videos on youtube and got inspired to make another version of Gil’s 19th century home! The exterior was inspired by a bunch of old mansions on google and the floor plan is inspired by the Ward Den mansion from Del Sol Valley (because while I loathe how it looks on the outside, the interior floor plan kinda slaps), so you’ll see that I have the same staircase layout and the ballroom in the middle.
I may put the shell up on the gallery or re-furnish it to use base game only items so y’all can download and explore it on your own, because right now I’m using a couple of packs plus CC items.
Anyway, I loved how it turned out so let me take you on a tour!
So here’s the exterior of the manor! I imagined this estate was a gift from King Frederick I to his new kingdom in 1701. Gilbert, however, didn’t fancy living on his own in such a big home so for most of the 18th century, he lived in a smaller town home in Berlin and then later living in Sanssouci with Frederick II. As such, the house mostly sat empty, except for the few times when soldiers were temporarily billeted there.
That changed in the 19th century when Ludwig came into his care and he thought it would be nice to raise the boy in a bigger space with more grounds for him to run and play in. The manor was renovated and they moved in with Gilbert’s existing household staff while the town home was converted into a clinic. Interior pics under the cut!
Floor plan
1st floor:
First floor has the entrance foyer with the double grand staircase that leads up to the second floor. Through an archway in the middle, there’s the ballroom, which has a door that leads out to the back courtyard. To the left, there’s the formal sitting room and to the right there’s the dining room. Off the dining room is the kitchen. Originally I wanted it to be just sort of a prep/serving area and have a staircase leading downstairs to the actual kitchen but the sims won’t let staircases be put under foundations so I had to make do! Each hallway has a downstairs bathroom for guests to use.
Second floor has all the bedrooms. To the left, you’ll find Gilbert’s study and to the right, there’s the guest bedroom. There’s also Gil’s bedroom and Ludwig’s bedroom, separated by the main bathroom in the middle.
Outside, we have the back courtyard and a hedge maze to the right. There’s also an outdoor lounge / dining area under a pergola and a small play area for Ludwig.
So there’s the pergola with the dining table underneath. Ludwig’s little play area has a swing hanging from the tree (built by his dad) and a little tent. The monkey bars are there just because it was cute. I also imagined there would be a stable nearby where they kept all the horses and the carriage.
Ballroom with the wooden dance floor set in the middle of the checkered marble tile.
The sitting room with the couches, bookshelves, and a writing desk. Lud has his own little desk there for him to sit and read at too. Not pictured, the fireplace in front of all the seats.
The Dining room and the archway that leads into the kitchens.
View of the staircase and the second floor landing. Ideally there would be more paintings hung up on the walls here, mostly family portraits and the occasional portrait of Fritz. Door on the far left goes to the study, door on far right goes into the guest bedroom, usually used by Johanna whenever she makes the trip to visit her brother and her nephew. Middle door leads to the main bath, to the left goes into the master bedroom, and to the right goes into Ludwig’s room.
Main bathroom. The only one with a tub.
Main Bedroom. Very sparsely decorated, just the way Gil likes it.
Ludwig’s room. Yes, that is a canopy. Why? Because it was cute. He’s got a little desk here too, a bookcase, and a little castle play set. He’s also got his set of tin soldiers lying around somewhere, modelled after the Prussian Army under Frederick the Great. General von Seydlitz always goes missing from the set for one reason or another and they find him in the weirdest places.
Nowadays, his room has a full-sized bed and desk, though the castle playset is still on display on a shelf somewhere.
Gilbert’s study and you may recognize the double windows from the asks when I draw Gil sitting at his desk! There is a door leading out to the terrace and bookcases along the walls which are full of everything from Prussian Law books, medical textbooks, and his giant collection of personal journals and patient case files.
And finally, here’s the guest bedroom, which also has a door out to the terrace!
#not an ask#[ headcanon ]#( i FINALLY FINISHED FURNISHING THIS BAD BOY#that took forever fdjfkj#longer than the exterior tbh#also excuse the dead plants it's fall in game djkdkj )

What is your favourite art style? Mine will be definitely sculpture. I love it.
Above you can see a #Jesus statue in the peace Church in the Park Sanssouci, Potsdam.

Oh, I want to live in a world where introverted people are unique and really understood people in extraverted eyes.
This would be my dream world. This would be my dream in this world too.
Do not go with the mainstream. If you go the sideways there will be the really great adventures. Be unique.
