Greiffenhorstpark, Public park in Krefeld, Germany.
Description
Greiffenhorstpark is a park in Krefeld shaped by elongated water features that originated from a historic stream course. The area includes several bridges for crossing, gentle banks, and various pathways that connect different sections together.
History
The grounds were designed in 1840 in the English landscape style by a renowned landscape architect, commissioned by a silk manufacturer from the city. The park developed over decades and underwent major restoration work in the early 2000s.
Culture
The small castle within the grounds dates from the 1830s and displays architecture of that era with its octagonal center and side wings. Visitors can still experience this style today while walking through the area and notice how the building sits within the landscape.
Practical
The park is open to visitors daily and features wide pathways throughout the grounds. Comfortable walking routes connect the different areas and allow easy orientation while exploring.
Did you know?
During extensive restoration work in the early 2000s, large populations of smooth newts were discovered, leading to changes in the renovation plans. This finding made the park an important refuge for this rare amphibian species in the region.
