Schlosspark Rheda

The park spans 25 hectares around Rheda Castle, featuring geometric paths, trimmed hedges, an apothecary garden, and an orangery displaying exotic plants.

The garden, documented since 1623, evolved from a medieval tree garden into a commercial nursery in the 19th century before opening to the public in 1842.

The park contains formal gardens reconstructed according to 19th-century plans, incorporating period-appropriate plants and water features within hornbeam hedge boundaries.

Visitors can explore both the historical castle gardens and the adjacent Flora Westfalica Park through a footpath north of the main entrance.

The garden includes a rectangular lawn area, a water basin with fountain jets, and preserved Baroque-style alleys connecting different sections of the grounds.
