Object description:

Picture: Schönbusch Palace

internal link Schönbusch Park is one of the earliest landscape gardens in Germany. From 1775 the Archbishop of Mainz, Friedrich Carl von Erthal, had his deer park redesigned in the English landscape style.

It was completed in 1790 by garden architect Friedrich Ludwig Sckell. Architectural features such as an observation tower, the Red Bridge, the Temple of Friendship and the Philosopher's House, a tiny village and shepherds' cottages are arranged in charming settings with artificial lakes and "hills".

In the park visitor centre (former kitchen building) the modified internal link exhibition "Everything appears natural, so well concealed is the design" informs  which was shown already in 1999 in the orangery building, about the history and development of the park. 

A further highlight is the exquisite interior of the little summer palace built by Emanuel Joseph von Herigoyen.
