What a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteYou could imagine yourself in another century past while enjoying these grounds. How good that the money received supports some local charities.
ReplyDeleteHello, the palace is beautiful. I love the garden and pretty statues. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!

ReplyDeleteSo much to see in your part of the world...such splendor & historical value. I always enjoy your photo tours.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you finally made it inside, and that you shared it all with me. Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like that the gardens don't look over groomed. There looks to be some good sight lines.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous hidden gem. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic place. I like the casualness of the beauty.

ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty place to be!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden--and I like the sculptures too. Looks like a lovely place to just sit and be for a while.

Such a pretty place. Love the sculptures.
ReplyDeleteI feel a sense of peace there. Especially liked the shot thru the archway by the sundial.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along ...this is certainly not something that a traveler would be likely to see. So glad you hit the open day. It looks peaceful and quiet even on a day it was open ...certainly a good place for the occupant (s?) to meditate and stroll when it was not.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so peaceful ! I think it would be very nice to walk around in there !
ReplyDeleteHi! Your dream came treue! There are many beautiful flowers in the garden. I enjoyed your photo very much.
ReplyDeleteYes, that certainly looked an enjoyable afternoon, your photographs were all lovely to see. A peaceful looking place, I wouldn't mind a walk around in person!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I think the Archbishop should spend more time in that lovely garden. Much better, more productive than interfering in politics anyway.
