Mou-lang, Chinese village in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, Germany
Mou-lang consists of thirteen remaining structures, including a pagoda, arranged along the southeastern edge of the Bergpark along Mulangstraße.
Landgraf Friedrich II established Mou-lang in 1781, incorporating Chinese architectural elements and garden designs inspired by William Chambers' works.
The village reflected the European interest in Chinese architecture during the Rococo period, featuring wooden houses with straw roofs and metal ornaments.
Originally built for agricultural purposes, the village produced milk, butter, and cheese for the court until 1797 when it became financially unsustainable.
A stream named Kiang flowed through the village, connecting to the Styx river and contributing to the Chinese garden landscape design.
