The four gardens which comprise the Herrenhausen Gardens are reputed to be the most exquisite gardens in Germany.
The gardens boast an assortment of styles including classic baroque and English.
The Great Garden is indeed immense, having once housed a castle which was destroyed by World War II, it now hosts festivals and firework competitions as well as classical music and theatre performances.
The Berggarten, originally a vegetable garden, became the site of experimental plant breeding, housed a conservatory, and is currently a botanical garden.
The Welfengarten is now occupied by the University of Hannover, which uses the castle on the grounds as its primary building.
These beloved gardens stand today as the centers of culture, music, education, and recreation for the citizens they have served for centuries.
