Sequoiafarm Kaldenkirchen, Arboretum and museum in Nettetal, Germany
The Sequoiafarm Kaldenkirchen spans 35,000 square meters within the Kaldenkirchener Grenzwald, featuring numerous giant sequoias and over 400 rare tree species.
Founded in 1950 by dentist couple Illa and Ernst J. Martin, this location marked the first systematic cultivation of all three sequoia species in Europe.
The arboretum functions as a research facility where scientists study tree growth patterns, conservation methods, and adaptation strategies for different climates.
Visitors can access the arboretum from April through October on Sundays and public holidays between 10 AM and 5 PM, with guided tours available.
The facility distributed approximately 35,000 mountain sequoias to private individuals and forestry areas until 1967, contributing to European dendrology development.
