By 1981, the park needed restoration. The restoration plan, aimed at returning the park to how it must have looked around the turn of the century, was an entirely new design. The available historical information, such as original drawings, was very limited. The preserved relief of the site and the shapes of the water gardens formed (together with an inventory of trees and shrubs) are the basis of the design. In further elaborating the design, the tools of the English landscape style, above all its poetic and dramatic aspects, were studied with an unprejudiced eye and put to use. The re-emancipation of the brook’s course, with its trimmed banks, the free-felling and re-planting of tree groups, and the creation of surprising perspectives form an ode to the English style.
