The Flower Garden, established in the late 17th century, is a unique example of the early baroque garden. It harmonized older renaissance Italian and Western European patterns with emerging French baroque spacial atmosphere of the Louise XIV era. The Flower Garden is unique in the European and worldwide context due to the rate of preservation of the original compositional plan. Along with the chateau and its garden, it entered in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List in 1998. During recent restoration of so-called Dutch Garden, the Neptune fountain has been installed in the garden. Neptune statue is original and it is depicted on the pictures of the garden from 17th century. The sandstone pool has been made just according to the pictures.
