Schlosspark, park in Senftenberg, Germany
Schlosspark is a large green space in Senftenberg with old trees, quiet pathways, and two lakes connected by a bridge. The park contains several monuments, historic structures like the 1937 Polenz House, and a small zoo with native and exotic animals.
The park was founded in 1912 and originally named Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park when local authorities cleared land and drained water for public use. Between 2010 and 2012, the park underwent partial reconstruction, restoring the original shape of the ponds and creating new pathways.
The park was originally named Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park and reflects Senftenberg's local story. Today it serves as a place where visitors experience the connection between nature and community life, as locals and tourists gather to walk, rest, and observe the changing seasons throughout the year.
The park is well-maintained with clear pathways offering good views of main attractions throughout the space. Visitors should come in the morning or late afternoon for the quietest experience, and can enjoy green areas and benches for resting year-round.
The park contains remnants of an old water mill that ground grain until the early 1900s and played a key role in the local economy. Small signs with QR codes on trees allow visitors to scan with their phones to learn about different tree species and their history.
