Parc Schierbeck, park in Puigcerdà, Spain
Parc Schierbeck is a park in Puigcerdà featuring mature trees and open grass areas throughout the grounds. The space provides walking paths and shaded rest areas surrounded by vegetation.
German Schierbeck, Denmark's consul general in Barcelona, first came to Puigcerdà in 1866 and bought the "camp de l'estany" beside the pond. Works to delimit a park there began on 25 September 1890; Schierbeck died in 1912 and his daughter Maria continued the project. The family ceded 9,000 m² for the park by agreement signed on 10 April 1927, and the park was inaugurated on 9 September 1925 with Maria Schierbeck and mayor Bonaventura Vernís i Juvés present.
The park lies on the north-east side of Puigcerdà's lake, on the land of the former "camp de l'estany". Its 9,000 m² hold the replanted trees from the 1991-1992 remodelling, carried out after the 1984 windstorms. Enter from the lake side to cross the grounds toward the town centre.
