The Großer Garten was started by Elector Johann Friedrich in 1666, but it was his wife Princess Sophia, who really dictated much of its design. It is a formal Baroque garden with strong French influence spread over 140 acres. It has strong geometric features, sculptures, a maze, cascades, grottos, and an open-air theater.
