The Chinese House, a garden pavilion in Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, was designed by the garden architect Johann Gottfried Büring in the then-popular style of Chinoiserie; a combination of ornamental rococo elements and parts of Chinese architecture for the Prussian king Frederick the Great. It's a little crazy and well worth a visit!
To visit Sanssouci Park and learn about the crazy party animal and militant reign of Frederick the Great you can join a Fat Tire Bike Tour of Potsdam Gardens and Pavillions from Alexanderplatz, Mitte. I highly recommend it!
