 Sometimes small castles have been extended to huge palaces. In this illustration the castle has been built inside a lake. It is now connected to the palace.

 

This is the so-called "grand terrasse" with bassins, flower-beds and fountains. In the baroque era the guests should be impressed by the beauty and extraordinary design as well as the possibility of the landlord to subordinate nature to his will and "power".
