Schlosspark Biebrich
Schlosspark Biebrich
Outdoor area freely accessible
Directly on the banks of the Rhine in Wiesbaden lies a ‘pearl of garden art’: Biebrich Palace Park. Originally designed as a Baroque garden in the 18th century, the park was given its current appearance by Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell. Between 1817 and 1823, the leading representative of English landscape gardening transformed the grounds into a true spatial marvel.
Despite its narrow shape, the park conveys an extraordinary sense of space. Curving meadows and gently sloping paths draw the eye from the magnificent Baroque palace to the distant hills of the Taunus. A romantic highlight is the Mosburg, built on medieval foundations, which sits picturesquely above the Mosburgweiher pond.
Later, Carl Friedrich Thelemann added exotic plant collections to the grounds, which gained worldwide renown. Today, the park fascinates visitors as a harmonious work of art that invites them to linger with its old trees and Mediterranean atmosphere on the Rhine.
