Germany: Gardens and Castles in the East
Germany: Gardens and Castles in the East
Much longer than other European countries Germany consisted of feudal states in varying sizes. It took until 1871 for this situation to change, when Bismark molded the territories into one unified nation. For us, travellers, the caleidoscopic map of former countships, duchies and kingdoms is a treasor trove of castles, palaces and country houses, parks and gardens. Because no monarch or duke, however small, had deemed his power complete without these status symbols.

'Restaurant Rote Saal, Orangery, Schlosspark Neustrelitz.'
The palace of Neustrelitz was destroyed during the last days of the Second World War. But the park, partly baroque, partly English in style, has remained intact. Just like the Orangerie, with roof paintings resembling those of Pompei and copies of antique statues. The best spot to experience the neoclassicist atmosphere is the Rote Saal while you are dining... Photo Paul Smit.
