Malkasten Park, Architectural heritage monument in Düsseldorf, Germany.

This three-hectare park stretches along the northern Düssel stream, featuring a mix of Baroque elements and English landscape garden designs.

The property was acquired in 1857 by painter Andreas Achenbach and industrialist Alexander von Sybel through a global lottery of paintings.

The name Malkasten, meaning Paintbox, refers to the 1848-founded artist group that secured the garden from potential redevelopment.

The park opens Wednesday through Sunday, with summer hours from 10 AM to 8 PM and winter hours from 10 AM to 6 PM.

The garden contains a pond designed after the Venus of Capua, along with numerous sculptures created by 19th-century German artists.
