The garden architects took their inspiration from French gardens. Nature was seen as something to be controlled and tamed – nothing was allowed to grow as it pleased; everything was planned with compass and drawing board. The castle and garden form a unified design concept. The strict geometric forms and rigorous symmetries are striking. Elaborately designed flowerbeds, hedges, palisades and avenues, fountains, and water features are typical. The Baroque park was created after 1750. The linear arrangement of sightlines is also typical – the entire splendor of the garden was meant to be taken in at a glance. Around 1830, under Curt Ernst von Posern, who at that time was lord of Pulsnitz Castle and administrator of St. Marienstern Abbey, the castle park was expanded into a landscape park with meadows and groups of trees. English landscape parks became fashionable, giving nature more space and also accepting areas of wild growth. The influence of Prince Pückler, who created Muskau Park for example, is clearly evident.

a beautiful castle park with many worthwhile sights and also some works of art.

The castle park is ideal for strolling or just relaxing and lingering. Although the trees do not have any exotic features, they are notable for their above-average age. The oldest oaks date back to the 16th century. The exact date of the park's creation cannot be determined. However, it can be assumed that there was a Renaissance garden and that it was redesigned in the same style when the Baroque castle was built in 1718.

Beautiful little castle park. Great for a short stroll.

The arcade is certainly the biggest attraction, next to the pond, in the castle park of the rehabilitation clinic.

A very nice circular route.

The palace park in Pulsnitz invites you to go for a walk or to relax and linger. Even if the stock of trees does not show any exotic peculiarities, it is remarkable because of its above-average age. The oldest oaks are from the 16th century. An exact time of origin of the park cannot be proven. However, it can be assumed that there was a Renaissance garden and that during the construction of the Baroque palace in 1718 it was redesigned in the same taste of the time. Hornbeam arcades were laid out around 1830, some of which have been preserved. English garden architecture prevailed in the 19th century. The castle pond and its shore area were included and the peninsula and the opposite shore path were created. The meadows and groups of trees in the rear part of the park reflect the influence of Prince von Pückler-Muskau, who created the famous parks in Lusatia. Evergreen rhododendrons were planted around 1930, because Pulsnitz Castle served the rulers of the time primarily as a winter residence. Of the sandstone sculptures that were included in the design of the park, only a baroque vase on a pedestal in the central axis of the large meadow in the front part of the park has survived. The park is enlivened by sculptures by the sculptors Hartmut Bonk, Helmut Heinze, Gerd Jaeger, Wolfgang Kuhle, Frank Maasdorf and Klaus Michael Stephan. They all have in common the study of sculpture and partly also the later professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. Source: https://www.westlausitz.de/
