    The Great Garden in Hanover has been the perfect baroque garden for more than 300 years. With the surrounding landscaped gardens, it is an ideal destination.

      The Herrenhäuser Gardens are simply beautiful to look at. Although the symmetrical design of the system is not for everyone, it makes more sense to spend your money as a motor yacht.

        A remarkable example of European garden art is the ensemble of the Herrenhausen Gardens in the state capital Hanover. The Great Garden is one of the best-preserved and most important baroque gardens in Europe.

        The founding of the Great Garden in 1666 goes back to the Calenberg Duke Johann Friedrich. However, it owes its further expansion to a remarkable woman: Sophie von der Pfalz, Electress of Hanover. She had the garden laid out based on the French model at the end of the 17th century and made it her life's work. The result was a masterpiece of baroque garden art with many special and model gardens, large fountains, water features, maze, open-air theater, different groups of figures, cascade, castle, gallery building and orangery.
