The Palace Gardens were planned by the Bavarian Electorate garden architect Dominique Girard. Starting at the Lower Belvedere, the baroque garden layout unfolds in strict symmetry along a central axis to the prestige building of the Upper Belvedere. The whole concept accords with the French model, stereometrically arranged trees and hedges, sculpture, and fountains and cascades. Next to the Orangerie, which still exists today, there was an aviary and a menagerie.
