Historical Landmarks Redefined - Gorgeously preserved Roman baths received restoration efforts.
"Rain and snow infiltrating the structure have caused significant damage to the building for years. The frequent swap between rainy and frosty weather has weakened the masonry," the speaker shared. "This has resulted in numerous cracks and gaps appearing in the walls. The constant moisture is another significant concern, causing harm to the wall art. Paint sections have begun to peel off and mold has shown up."
Addressing these issues requires major renovation steps. By 2027, most of the work is projected to be finished, with an approximate budget of 19 million euros.
This architectural masterpiece, developed between 1829 and 1841 by the duo of architects Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Ludwig Persius, is considered one of Park Sanssouci's treasures. Schinkel regards this as one of his most exceptional works with a profound influence. The Roman Baths in Potsdam were never used as conventional spas. The design is a replica of an Italian 15th-century country home.

"As the renovation process continues, the importance of preserving Potsdam's rich history, including landmarks like the Roman Baths, becomes increasingly evident. This can be seen in not only the city of Potsdam but also in neighboring Brandenburg, both steeped in fascinating history and architectural wonders."
"Visitors to Sanssouci Park can still marvel at the Roman Baths, despite the ongoing care case, as the restoration efforts ensure that the structure remains as close as possible to its original form. The monument, a nod to the 18th century influence and intricate architecture, continues to draw tourists from around the world."
"Post-restoration, the Roman Baths in Potsdam will stand as yet another testament to the city's rich history and architectural beauty, joining other renowned monuments such as the Palace of Sanssouci and the Charlottenhof Palace in the area of Brandenburg."
