The Dutch garden, which reached the heights of creativity from about 1670, drew extensively on French sources and had a particularly important impact on German gardens. In 1685, the Dutch governor, later William III of England, used plans by Daniel Marot for a garden at his palace Het Loo. Contemporary etchings provide a very accurate picture of the garden, which was neglected in about 1800 and was not restored until 1978.
The picture shows the restored garden. The essential concept behind the Het Loo gardens was based on Versailles.
