After the completion of the New Palace, Frederick the Great had the Belvedere built on the Klausberg from 1770 to 1772. It was the first observation building in Potsdam.
From the Klausberg, there are charming views across Sanssouci Park to the hilly, lake-rich landscape and the city of Potsdam.

The idea for the two-storey round building with two balconies and crowned by a dome came from a drawing in the volume "Del Palazzo de' Cesari" published in 1738. In it, the archaeologist Francesco Bianchini had attempted to reconstruct the imperial palace on the Palatine in ancient Rome.

The building, which was burnt out during the last days of the war in 1945, was restored in the 1990s. In addition to the exterior, the interior was also largely restored. Today, the upper hall impresses again with its stucco marble, the oak parquet flooring and the reconstructed ceiling painting in the dome.
