Nederland – Apeldoorn, Paleis Het Loo tuin
Paleis Het Loo (Het Loo Palace) was built in 1686 for stadtholder Willem III and his wife queen Mary of England. The palace was the summer residence of the Dutch stadtholders, kings and queens from 1686 to 1975. Princess Margriet last inhabited parts of the palace.
Het Loo was planned and created as a combination of a palace and baroque garden. This garden - designed by Claude Desgotz - was more than a royal hobby; it was a symbol for the position and power of the royal couple. All elements in the garden, such as the garden statues and the fountains, fit within this symbolic meaning. Flowers and plants play are important elements in the gardens of Paleis Het Loo. In the 17th century, a garden with exotic - and therefore expensive - flowers and plants meant that the owner had the wealth and contacts to have such a garden laid out and maintained.
In the 18th century the baroque garden was replaced by an English landscape garden. However, the original gardens were restored from 1980 to 1984, when the palace and gardens became a national museum. The starting point was preserved design drawings, as well as excavations on site. Some of the plants at Het Loo change every year, both in the spring and in the summer. The aim is to achieve the most accurate possible reconstruction of the original garden.
(During our last visit the garden was decorated with four monumental contemporary art works - 'The Garden of Earthly Worries’ - designed by the Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind. It is the first time that contemporary art is on show in the garden of Paleis Het Loo.)

I'm not that keen on very formal gardens like this. Whilst I recognise their beauty, I prefer to visit gardens that are less structured.
Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to Keith Burton clubBonne journée, Jaap !
Sorry about not commenting much, I still have to be careful about straining my fingers.
Have a great day my friend ;-)
All the best, Doug
Merci du partage .
and the pips are very interesting too, Jaap ******
These contemporary works have visibly been selected to discreetly fit in with the design of the garden.
Gruß Uwe
