Fasanerie Groß-Gerau

The Fasanerie park extends across 29 hectares of mixed woodland, incorporating walking paths, playgrounds, and a small animal park with 300 animals.

The park originated in 1726 when the Landgrave of Hessen-Darmstadt established it as a hunting ground, importing pheasants from the Caucasus region.

The park stands as a protected historical monument, featuring a notable 100-year-old pyramid oak tree that received special natural landmark status in 2013.

Visitors can access the park through the Regionalpark RheinMain Südwest office in Kelsterbach, which manages the grounds and provides information about activities.

The park's boundary wall incorporates stones from the former Dornberg Castle, which French troops destroyed in 1689 during the War of the Palatine Succession.
