Herrenhausen Palace
At the centre of the Great Parterre, part of the Grosser Garten, one of the finest Baroque gardens in Europe, stands the Bell Fountain. It and other fountains play several times a day. The garden was created by the French landscape gardener Martin Charbonnier at the behest of the Electress Sophia of Hanover, the mother of King George I of Great Britain. As can be seen, it is full of statues of Greek gods and goddesses and of large urns. Schloss Herrenhausen. Herrenhausen Palace 3

The original royal residence of Schloss Herrenhausen (which dated from the 17th century) was destroyed by Allied bombs in 1943. The palace was recently re-built, based on the original designs, though the interiors were not re-created. It now serves partly as a conference centre and partly as a museum. No doubt with the passage of time it will look less pristine and artificial. Herrenhausen Palace 4

The Gallery Building in the Great Garden. One of the few original outbuildings at Schloss Herrenhausen to have escaped the Allied bombing of 1943 virtually unscathed - the late 17th century Gallery, which can be rented for concerts, receptions etc. The frescoes in the Banqueting Hall are especially noteworthy.

The building was commissioned by King Ernst August 1 and built between 1842 and 1847 to a design by Georg Laves, the leading architect of the time. Herrenhausen Palace 31
