The Hermitage Moat

Placed on a terrace paved with black and white marble slabs, the Hermitage pavilion is encircled by an elaborately shaped moat with two small bridges. The moat and the "wild" grove around were intended to inspire a mood of melancholy solitude, put people in a contemplative frame of mind and inspire recollections.
