Schlosspark Dieskau, English landscape garden in Kabelsketal, Germany

Schlosspark Dieskau is a 67-hectare English landscape garden laid out from 1778 to 1784 southwest of Dieskau Castle and including the Großer Mühlteich. Its ponds and canals are fed by the river Reide, whose floodplain was drawn into the design, and a network of paths and sightlines links the grounds. Near the castle a Pleasureground with a stream opens the park.

The park was created between 1778 and 1784 by Johann George Gottlieb Schoch under Carl Christoph von Hoffmann's commission, following English landscape garden principles. This period marked a shift from formal to more naturalistic garden design in the region.

The grounds blend Chinese design elements with European garden ideas, visible in structures like the tea house and water house by the Großer Mühlteich. This mixing shows how 18th-century garden makers brought together different cultural inspirations in their work.

The grounds are open to visitors, with marked paths leading through various sections. Restored statues, monuments, and informative plaques help you understand the architectural and natural features of the park.

Three protected historical orchards within the grounds demonstrate how beauty and practical use were intentionally linked. This combination of decorative design and fruit growing was uncommon at that time.
