Notable Schloss Nordkirchen-3

Schloss NordKirchen’s gardens or Schlossgarten are magnificent and Versailles palace gardens are definitely a place that these well laid out grounds take their queue from.

 

Originally a Baroque garden design it has over the years been changed to meet the tastes of the day so that today it is a mix of English garden and recreated Baroque styling.

This type of garden is called Broderieparterre a word from the French for something embroidered and as you can see in this picture that’s the perfect description of the layout.

 

Broderieparterre style was very exclusive to Baroque landscape architecture and the statuary peppered throughout the garden holds testament to the period with many of the figures paying homage to old pagan deities.

 

I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 35mm 1/125s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS (Lumenzia and DXO Nik Color Efex)

 

Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
