Herrenhäuser Gärten
Although little remains of the original palace buildings, the Herrenhäusen Gardens are one of the city's most popular attractions, particularly during the summer months when there are festivals, fireworks and theatre performances. The symmetrical baroque landscape of the Great Garden (Grosser Garten) was laid out by Duke Johann Friedrich of Calenberg, at the end of the 17th century, and includes the oldest hedge theatre in Europe, an enormous fountain (70m/230ft at full pressure) and ornamental flower beds. In contrast, the Berggarten (the former palace utility or herbal garden) features a botanical collection of more than 12,000 different plants. To complete the picture, in the 19th century, a romantic ‘English' Garden (Georgengarten) was created around Herrenhäuser Allee in honour of George IV.
The Wilhelm-Busch-Museum/German Museum for Caricature & Critical Drawing is housed in Wallmoden Palace in the Georgengarten. The museum features a collection of work by German satirical artist Wilhem Busch and exhibitions by contemporary cartoonists.
