They are perceived as being early, marginal precursors to the magnificent grounds built later in Holland, such as those constructed under William III at Paleis het Loo. As evidence, the ‘rigidity’ of their design is compared unfavourably with grand and exciting Baroque trends in the seventeenth century.1 Despite the presence of famed French designer Andre Mollet at Honselaarsdijk between 1633 and 1635, these gardens remain peripheral to the historical narrative of European gardens.
