Schleißheim, Munich

Originally designed in 1684, the Baroque gardens at Schleißheim near Munich are a fine example of geometrically laid out formal gardens.

The Parterre and cascade were added 30 years later by Dominique Girard, a pupil of the great Le Notre, who created Versailles. Although later reconstruction work added and completed the gardens on show today, the basic structure has remained virtually intact.
