Möllenvogteigarten, park in Magdeburg-Altstadt, Germany
Möllenvogteigarten is a protected green space behind walls near the Magdeburger Dom. The garden holds old trees, niches carved into walls, stone steps, and a simple fountain that reflect its medieval character and layout.
The garden dates back to the 14th century and is among the city's oldest green spaces. The only surviving city gate in Magdeburg was built in 1493 and still stands in the garden's western section.
The name comes from a mill and a medieval official called a Vogt, showing how trade and city management shaped this part of town long ago. People who visit today can still sense how this space served both practical and administrative functions in the city's daily life.
The garden is easy to reach from Domplatz and lies right beside the cathedral. It is open during the day and offers walking paths and quiet spots under old trees for visitors to enjoy.
The garden displays sculptures by various artists, including works that resemble a medieval altar and explore connections between past and present. These art installations turn the historic space into an outdoor gallery.
