Schlossgarten Oldenburg

In the location's words:

Oldenburg Palace Garden is one of the most important historical parks in Germany. The approximately 16-hectare park with its variety of plant shapes and colors was designed by Duke Peter Friederich Ludwig as an English landscape garden.

The extensive lawns with picturesquely grown giant trees, winding paths and streams shape the character of the park, as do the lush flowerbeds. The rhododendron blossom in particular attracts numerous visitors every year. Historic buildings such as the court gardener's house, tea pavilion and winter house blend harmoniously into the garden landscape. Bat tours, readings, hydrangea days and guided tours of the kitchen garden take place regularly.

In the 200 years of its existence, the park has undergone only a few interventions, so that to this day it presents itself to visitors almost unchanged, in part even with the original tree population. Schlossgarten Oldenburg has been a listed building since 1978 and presents itself to visitors as both a work of garden art and a local recreation area.

The castle garden and the Eversten Holz city forest are managed by a team of 10 people under the direction of Ms. Stalling (Dipl.-Ing. Landscape Architecture). The team has differentiated professional qualifications as gardeners, nursery gardeners, arborists and ornamental plant gardeners and guarantees the application of excellent specialist knowledge through regular specialist training.
