What it is
Four blocks of red-brick houses with gables, in the centre of Potsdam, which King Frederick William I had built between 1733 and 1742 to attract Dutch craftsmen. They were built by the master builder Jan Bouman, from Amsterdam: there are 134 houses, divided by Mittelstraße and Benkertstraße.
How to see it
Enter through the Nauen Gate and walk along Mittelstraße, the street with the most shops, cafés and galleries. It is the mid-morning or afternoon walk between the palaces; ten minutes on foot from the entrance to Sanssouci park along Brandenburger Straße.
