About this audio guide
This guide to the Hofgärtnerhaus in Düsseldorf's Hofgarten looks hard at the building itself: a baroque court gardener's house laid out with the garden by Nicolas de Pigage, and the question of how old its walls really are. It follows the house through the arrival of French revolutionary troops, and the garden designer Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe. Stand on the lawn near the Louise Dumont memorial, with the facade in view.
