Karlsgarten in Aachen-Melaten, Medieval garden at Gut Melaten, Germany
The Karlsgarten features wide beds filled with medicinal herbs, vegetables, fruit trees, and other plants mentioned in Charlemagne's Capitulare de villis.
The garden, inaugurated in September 2000, recreates the plant collection listed in Chapter 70 of Charlemagne's imperial decree for royal estates.
Turkish basalt sculpture titled 'Visions for Europe' marks the starting point of the European Sculpture Trail within the garden grounds.
Visitors can access the garden freely through Rabentalweg via the orchard or from Gut Melaten, with information boards and benches at its center.
The garden layout includes diagonal paths, yew hedges, and viewing windows through beech borders that frame specific views of the surrounding landscape.
