Magdalenengarten, French formal garden and rose garden in Hildesheim, Germany
The Magdalenengarten spans six acres, featuring eight distinct squares with 1,500 roses and straight pathways following the traditional Baroque design principles.
Originally established in 1224 as a medicinal herb garden for the Magdalenenkloster nuns, the space transformed into an ornamental Baroque garden between 1720 and 1725.
The garden hosts the annual Magdalenenfest celebration in mid-June, when roses reach peak bloom and visitors participate in garden fairs and activities.
Located in the western part of Hildesheim's historic center, the garden provides direct access to St. Michael's Church and includes the Michaelisblick viewing point.
Wild yellow tulips from Italy, planted during the Baroque period, continue to bloom each April, representing one of the garden's original botanical elements.
