Grounds of Middachten Castle

Grounds of Middachten Castle
Good landscape architecture combines various elements such as plants, buildings, and ponds or lakes in an aesthetically pleasing way. The landscaping of Middachten Castle, near De Steeg, Netherlands, meets this requirement. The grounds were made a reality about 1900, but they follow exactly the design first created about 1700, which was influenced by French landscape architecture of the late Baroque period.
