Symbolica: Palace of Fantasy

An unexpected invitation into the Palace of Fantasy

Symbolica opens the doors of King Pardulfus’s palace just as Pardoes overturns protocol. The magical jester leads his guests through secret corridors, salons and rooms where objects seem to possess personalities of their own. Royal architecture, deep colours and music give every space the scale of a fairytale.

The visit prefers wonder and humour to the solemnity promised by O.J. Punctuel. A laid table rebels, a mirror holds a surprise and galleries reveal unexpected passages. Details hidden in the backgrounds make it seem that the palace continues its life far beyond what can be glimpsed.

The narrative heart of Fantasierijk

The palace silhouette dominates the heart of Efteling and finally gives Pardoes a home. Symbolica does more than illustrate his world: it joins magic, royal etiquette and curiosity in a generous adventure. Its central place and visual richness make it one of the park’s great contemporary landmarks.
