Großer Garten, Baroque garden in Herrenhausen-Stöcken, Germany.
The Großer Garten extends over 50.2 hectares with rectangular layouts, symmetrical paths, ornamental sculptures, and precisely trimmed hedges forming geometric patterns.
Duke Georg von Calenberg initiated the garden's development in 1638 as a kitchen garden, which later transformed into an extensive pleasure garden.
The garden theater, restored to its original form after 300 years, represents the traditions of outdoor performances in European royal gardens.
The garden maintains regular opening hours throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the baroque-style landscaping.
The Große Fontäne water feature in the center of the garden produces a water jet reaching heights of 80 meters without modern pumping technology.
