Schacky-Park, English garden in Dießen am Ammersee, Germany.
Schacky-Park is an 18-hectare English-style park south of Dießen am Ammersee, laid out from 1905 to 1913 for Ludwig Freiherr von Schacky auf Schönfeld and his wife Julia. Its paved paths, arcades and tree groups surround a Monopteros, a tea house, an espalier of apple trees, several fountains, and statues from Greek mythology.
Ludwig Freiherr von Schacky auf Schönfeld and his wife Julia created the grounds between 1903 and 1913 as their summer residence, following English garden designs of the period. The park reflects the taste and ideals of the upper class at that time and survives as an example of early 20th-century garden culture.
Since 2005 the Förderkreis Schacky-Park Dießen am Ammersee e. V. has maintained the listed eastern section, with Christine Reichert as chair since 2014. The association restored the pond fountain on the promenade in 2017 and the Monopteros in 2020, and inaugurated the newly restored stairway in 2025. The western part is leased by the Dießen riding club.
The park lies southwest of the Ammersee on the road from Dießen to Raisting. The western part is leased by the Dießen riding club, while the eastern half with the listed garden remains is leased by the municipality and cared for by the Förderkreis Schacky-Park. The restored staircase was inaugurated in 2025.
The park's western section has been leased by the Dießen riding club since 2004, while the municipality rents the eastern half with the protected garden remains. The Förderkreis Schacky-Park, founded on 21 December 2005, maintains the monument-protected grounds; Christine Reichert has chaired it since 2014. In 2025 a newly restored staircase was inaugurated.
