The Tudor garden

In the small town of Condette, northern-most France, you can find a charming little Tudor revival castle, built in the middle of the 19th century by the Englishman Sir John Hare. The castle rests on foundations much older than that, though. A castle was first built here in the 12th century, and the direct predecessor to the one now standing dated to 1222-1231, built by Philippe Hurepel de Clermont, son of the French king Philippe II Auguste. That castle was destroyed by Marie de Medici in 1615 in the religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants at the time. The place was left in ruins - but some of the defense walls survived, and this new castle were built incorporating those remains.
And now they have designed a garden at the back of the castle inspired by real, historical Tudor gardens.
