Schillingspark, Private landscape park in Gürzenich, Düren, Germany.
The park features six large fish ponds connected by streams, surrounded by old trees, and contains several architectural elements including the Mona Lisa Tower.
Timotheus Josef Schillings, a royal head forester, designed and created this romantic landscape park during the first half of the nineteenth century as part of Weiherhof.
The park gained additional recognition when Max von Schillings composed his successful opera 'Mona Lisa' within its grounds, leading to naming the stone tower accordingly.
Access to Schillingspark is restricted, but regular guided tours and cultural events allow visitors to explore the grounds at scheduled times throughout the year.
The extensive water system within the park dates back to the fifteenth century, with five original fish ponds forming the foundation of its current layout.
