Can you feel the gentle breeze from the English garden nearby? Just a few steps to the east, the Belvedere Park beckons with its lush greenery. Imagine the Dukes, strolling through the gardens in the 18th century, with the soft strains of music drifting from the West Pavilion. Look to your left, and you'll see the Red Tower, adding to the castle's grandeur. Behind you, to the west, lies the Russian Garden, a nod to the cultural exchanges that were so vibrant among the European aristocracy.
