The Royal Gardens were designed in 1534 in the Italian Renaissance style. Later, construction of the Royal Summer Palace, which housed Queen Anne, began.
Ferdinand I began building the Royal Summer Palace in 1534, after gradually buying the area from the owners of the old vineyards. The Italian sculptors Hans Tirol and Boniface Wohlmut worked on the palace, creating distinctive works of art on the ground floor and on the rooftop. The summer palace was intended for gracious hospitality and will make your stay in the garden more enjoyable.
Later, in the Renaissance Garden, rare and exotic plants from other regions were grown, including ornamental trees, shrubs, figs, citrus trees, cedars, and fig trees. Tulips had been present here long before they appeared in Holland.
The current palace, built in the mid-nineteenth century, is in the English style with some Baroque characteristics (for example, the beautiful flower beds). The palace is accessible from all four sides.
The grounds of the Royal Gardens now contain Queen Anne's Summer Palace, a ballroom, a greenhouse, a fig garden, a maze, a summer house, a bronze musical fountain, a variety of gazebos, statues, a pond, and a restaurant with a rose garden.
