axel_r_bollmanns Frederick William IV (1795 - 1861) had the entire ensemble of Peace Church, Marly Garden and Peace Garden laid out between 1844 - 1854 with an iconography strongly influenced by his deep religiosity.

In Sanssouci Park near the main entrance is the Peace Church (left). King Frederick William IV drew the first design of the church based on the Roman Basilica of San Clemente and had it built by his master builder Ludwig Persius. The church is surrounded by the Friedensteich (peace pond). A portico leads there through the Redeemer's Gate. The Royal Couple from Sanssouci Palace used to come to church through this gate. The church is romantically reflected in the calm surface of the water. The King had wanted it that way, so the pond was created and sealed with a layer of clay.

Behind the colonnade is the Emperor Frederick Mausoleum, which was added later. Crown Prince Frederick William ascended the throne in March 1888 at the age of 56, seriously ill, called himself Frederick III and went down in history as the 99-Day Emperor, as he died on 15 June of the same year. A year after his death, the architect Julius Carl Raschdorff (1823 - 1914), presumably at the instigation of his widow, Empress Victoria (1840 - 1901), who by now called herself "Empress Frederick", was commissioned to build him an appropriate mausoleum. The somewhat mysterious building peeking out from behind the trees is thus an imperial burial site. Text sources: wikipedia/spsg.de

This page shows 40 pics of some fantastical Architecture which are built by Friedensteich Hundertwasser. Although these buildings look impossible,  they are real.
