Description

In 2009, Hamburg-based architectural firm Jastrzembski Kotulla began reconstructing the majestic Herrenhausen Palace, which was levelled in World War II, and restoring it in line with a design by royal builder George Ludwig Friedrich Laves. Known until now for its magnificent baroque gardens alone, Herrenhausen Palace and Gardens will soon be restored to their full original glory.
