Gardens and parks in Saxony

Just as with life at court, nature had to obey the wishes of the rulers. In the Baroque garden the maze of boxtree hedges and trimmed hornbeams is as complex as an absolutist court intrigue. Even the landscape park of later centuries, which seems to have grown quite naturally, is in fact the result of careful planning. Either way, the result for Saxony was European masterpieces of landscape planning.
