Once a year the knights meet here - in the Citadel Park, Vechta's green lung and place of relaxation, just a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of the district town's shopping street. Because the Burgmannentage, a medieval spectacle, exciting knight fights and a medieval market take place here every year on the last weekend in September. But the Citadel Park in Vechta is also definitely worth a visit on all other days of the year.

After extensive archaeological excavations from 1987 to 1991, the park was created as a partial reconstruction of the old Vechta fortress with moats.
The citadel was built on the orders of Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen in 1666
as a defense system. The area covers 22 hectares - enough space
to relax, do sports or visit the wonderful rose garden with the
baroque pavilion.

Then it is worth climbing up to the viewing platform of the Friedrich-Christian Bastion.

From here you not only have a wonderful view of the area and can watch the hustle and bustle at the train station right next to the park - you also have a great overview of the "Castrum Vechtense", a medieval reconstruction of the old Vechta Castle, which was built in 2014 in the Citadel Park.
The Citadel Park is located west of the railway line at the end of the "Citadel" street, which is a dead end.

Nestled in Vechta, the Citadel Park impresses with its extensive park,
which offers an ideal ambience for those seeking relaxation. The park is a real gem that was not only lovingly designed by gardeners and landscapers,
but also serves as a stage for artists and artisans.
Here you can stroll along walking paths lined with a variety of plants, grasses and perennials. Whether flower bulbs or fruit trees, the biodiverse model gardens invite you to enjoy the interplay of nature and art.
The total garden area also includes a forest area that serves as a relaxing retreat. Events are regularly held on the exhibition and activity area,
including the popular Burgmannentage with its medieval spectacle and impressive knight fights. Another highlight is the museum in the armory,
which offers interesting insights into the history of Vechta. Whether in the heat of summer or in the cooler months, the Citadel Park
remains an indispensable destination among Vechta's sights.

There are several gardens on the freely accessible outdoor area, including a rose garden with an open baroque pavilion.
