 Palais Het Loo - a Gardens Guide review
Foreign visitors have often seen Het Loo as ‘the Versailles of Holland’;, because of its axial layout, fountains, parterres and statues.
Beginning in 1970, the garden was fully restored for the it’s 300th anniversary in 1984, with some of the old trees left to live out their natural lives in the lower parterre.
The brickwork, trelliswork and ornaments are as brash as they must have been in 1684, though the use of cement mortar and concrete remind one that Het Loo is now a twentieth century garden and a manifestation of Europe’s ever-growing passion for garden history.

 History of Baroque garden design in Holland
Some liveliness of contour was cleverly contrived, for the chief garden with its eight parterres was sunk, and it had a terrace surround, and behind was brought to an end by an avenue of oaks.
The view was not impeded over the upper garden, which was somewhat raised, and which ended in a semicircular gallery and a series of fine water-works, The idea of the sunk parterre, which originated in the Italian Renaissance, had been already taken up and frequently carried out with success in the French garden.
In the eighteenth century Dutch engravers were incontestably at the head of their art, and they not only supplied Holland with numerous pictures of its own gardens and houses, but also satisfied a great part of the demand in the rest of Europe, as we have seen, and especially in England.
