Forecourt of the New Palace
Twenty years following his creation of Sanssouci, Frederick built the New Palace in the western part of the park. This far larger palace
was in direct contrast to the relaxed ethos behind Sanssouci, and displayed Frederick's power and strength to the world, in the Baroque style.
The design of the New Palace was intended to demonstrate that Prussia's capabilities were undiminished despite its near defeat in the Seven Years' War.
Frederick made no secret of his intention, even referring to the new construction as his "fanfaronnade" ("showing off")(Wikipedia)
