One of the greatest palaces in Minecraftia is the grand Sanssouci Palace. It was constructed during the Fourth Era during the rule of Emperor Louis Viromaro as a "remote palace of pleasure and leisure" for the Imperial family.

It is the only building in Minecraftia constructed by the famous architect Prof. Dr. MyGodness, although over the years a great many renovations and expansions have been conducted by Kythiran craftsmen to make the palace fit the wishes of the Emperor.

The palace has a great many rooms, including libraries, ballrooms, indoor swimming room, theatre etc.

Prior to the Grand War the palace was often used as a sort of private hotel, with both House Von Dragestein and House Von Roterstein having their own private apartments inside the palace, which made it, prior to the fall from power of House Von Dragestein, a perfect venue to discuss world politics in a comfortable, private setting.

As the Pax Minecraftia established by Emperor Alexander Viromaro fully collapsed with the Grand War, the palace lost this function. During this time the imperial family stayed primarily in Helmira, and the palace became a headquarters for the Admiralty of the Imperial Northern Sea Fleet and, in secret, one of the places where millions of Viromaro Florynts were hidden in case a revolution would fall upon the Empire when the war started to turn against the Kythirans.

Prince Louis Viromaro, in the aftermath of the Reforma Carta, sailed a number of ships up to the palace, where he stole the hidden fortune and escaped to the Republic of Aqumis.

Today the palace is used by the deposed Emperor Louis Viromaro as a formal residence, far away from Helmira's political heart.
