I love the wonderful baroque rooms with al the frescos and stucco work. The facades are beautiful too, but it would look more impressive with french or dutch gardens

A few important parts of the original Baroque gardens still exist, like the Cascade and the Canal. The lawn in front of the house used to be an ornate parterre, which partly became visible again a few years ago after a period of drought. There is a video about this ('History revealed')

Similar to that i imagine chateau marly le roi. So sad that this palace is lost 😩

Indeed, Chatsworth's Cascade was built only a few years after the one at Marly...

@@markpieters I think Chatsworth House comes quite close to Chateau Marly how it looked like

The style and general form of Marly was similar, but the exterior was painted in 'tromp l' oeil', which was never so in Chatsworth.
