Summary
Even after the main residence had been
transferred to England the garden received
much attention. The lack of a direct
connection to a city, the enclosed character
of the garden and most of all the complete
destruction of the fomal garden during
the 19th-century, as well as the equally
complete reversal of this historical decision
embodied by the recent reconstruction, add
up to a situation very different from that of
Schwetzingen.
