The actual development of Potsdam into a garrison town and royal residence began in 1713, and from then on, three new churches, the Church of St. Nicholas, Holy Ghost Church and the Garrison Church, became landmarks of the city's silhouette. On this tour you'll view the Dutch Quarter, the historic town hall, and visit the Sanssouci Palace and Gardens.
