The sculptures of Veitshöchheim’s Rokokogarten form part of the Hofgarten beside Veitshöchheim Palace, the former summer residence of Würzburg’s prince-bishops. Created largely by court sculptor Ferdinand Tietz in the 18th century, the lively sandstone figures include mythological gods, allegories, animals, and theatrical characters. They animate the garden’s clipped hedges, tree-lined paths, ponds, fountains, and intimate green enclosures, reflecting the Rococo taste for fantasy, spectacle, and playful surprise. Their pale, weathered surfaces stand out against dense foliage, while long garden axes and carefully framed vistas reveal how sculpture and landscape were designed as a single composition.
