Under Frederick II, other palace besides Sanssouci were influenced by French models. The plans for the building of the Communs opposite the New Palace were drafted by the French architect Jean-Laurent Legeay. The New Palace was erected by the German Carl von Gontard, who had studied in Paris in the mid-18th century.
