Plantsoen, Municipal monument park in Binnenstad, Leiden, Netherlands
The Plantsoen extends over 3.3 hectares in the historic center of Leiden, featuring curved pathways, green lawns, and mature trees along the Zoeterwoudsesingel.
The park was established in 1836 on former city fortifications, following a design by city architect Salomon van der Paauw between 1835 and 1842.
From 1870 to 1929, the Musis Sacrum music society enhanced the park with regular performances in a dedicated pavilion and music tent.
The park maintains continuous access throughout the year, offering visitors multiple entry points and connecting paths to the surrounding residential areas.
A new pond with fountain, installed in 2012, reintroduces a water feature to the park, while an aviary has remained in operation since 1867.
