History
Maximilian Speck von Sternburg purchased the estate in 1822 and transformed the grounds into a public park that opened to visitors in 1830. The family shaped the property over generations, leaving a lasting design.

Classical statues including Venus, Kronos, Flora, and Apollino are positioned throughout the grounds, reflecting 19th-century artistic taste. These figures serve as visual landmarks as visitors walk through the woodland.
