Herrenhausen tour - Royal garden splendor

Stroll through one of the best-preserved baroque gardens in Europe - the Great Garden - with over 300 years of history and be inspired by intricate patterns of boxwood, marble gravel and colorful flowerbeds. A special attraction is the grotto designed by artist Niki de Saint Phalle with colorful glass mosaics.

The city of Hanover owes this gem of Baroque garden art to an extraordinary woman: Electress Sophie of the Palatinate. Inspired by the Sun King, Louis XIV, she had the 200-acre garden laid out in the late 17th century based on French models and made it her life’s work.

Our guides will show you the most hidden corners of the Baroque garden and the Grand Fountain, and they’ll share all sorts of fascinating facts about Hannover’s connection to the British royal family.
