Sarasinpark, Public park in Riehen, Switzerland
Description
Sarasinpark combines three former Baroque estates with curved pathways, a pond, and an orangery built in 1836. The grounds feature different areas to explore with mature trees and open lawns.
History
The Elbs-Birr estate was built between 1694 and 1695 as a vineyard property and formed the core of the later park. Over time, additional properties were added to create the grounds as they exist today.
Culture
The main building houses a music school for local residents and displays restored ceiling paintings from the Baroque period. These artistic details tell of the former grandeur of the place.
Practical
The grounds are freely accessible with marked pathways that make it easy to explore the different areas. The central square is a good starting point to get your bearings.
Did you know?
An old lime tree avenue from the Baroque period shapes the park's character and creates shaded paths for walking. This row of trees is a defining element of its historical identity.
