Wildpark Peter und Paul, Wildlife park on Rosenberg hill, St. Gallen, Switzerland.

The park spans 4.45 hectares of natural landscape, featuring spacious enclosures for native animals including ibexes, deer, lynx, and wild boars.

The park opened on May 1, 1892, with twelve red deer, eight fallow deer, four roe deer, five chamois, eight marmots, and two hares.

Between 1902 and 1917, sculptor Urs Eggenschwiler created four artificial rock formations specifically designed for breeding mountain ibexes.

The park maintains wheelchair-accessible paths throughout its grounds, offers free admission, and allows dogs on short leashes year-round.

The park successfully reintroduced ibexes to Switzerland through a breeding program that began with three young animals smuggled from Italian royal hunting grounds.
