The ceremonial courtyard, or "cour d'honneur" in French, was originally not a garden, but a place for large-scale parades.
The ceremonial courtyard, or cour d’honneur in French, was originally designed not as a garden but as a grand stage for formal processions. In recent years, it has hosted numerous film productions, including the second season of the Netflix series The Crown, the miniseries Amadeus, and scenes from the film Kincsem. It has also provided an impressive setting for exciting concerts.
Its fountain, wall fountain, and seasonally maintained flower beds offer a spectacular view to all who enter through the main gate or step out of the Ceremonial Dining Room (Haydn Hall).
