Herrenhausen Gardens

A Model of German Garden Art, a Mecca for Landscape Architecture Students The Herrenhausen Great Garden is considered one of the best-preserved examples of European Baroque gardens. It is a must-visit destination for students or professionals interested in landscape design, architecture, and horticulture. The garden's hallmark lies in its honest and simple structure, which conceals meticulous planning. Unlike the spatial magic of Le Nôtre's style, it conveys grandeur through clear geometric order and symmetry. The precise calculation of waterways, hedges, and the height and spacing of trees allows visitors to physically experience the principles of Baroque landscape design as they stroll through the garden. The statues scattered throughout and the Orangerie perfectly showcase the essential elements of a Baroque garden. From a professional perspective, the knowledge and inspiration gained here are worth far more than the admission fee.
