Today, it also serves as a residence for visiting foreign heads of state.

The gardens include fountains and mythological sculptures and demonstrate landscape harmony. Currently, they are home to the School of Equestrian Art, which received the European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage and the Europa Nostra Award in 2018.
