    Tips

    In the summer of 1590 Duke Franz II commissioned the Fürstengarten on the Freudenberg. Hofgärtner Lilie designed around 1656 the hitherto wild hunter garden in a magnificent, baroque "pleasure garden" after Bohemian model. The resulting representational feature of the dukes of that time became a jewel whose unique beauty was repeatedly described by travelers.
     
    On the southern mountainside a dome vault was created in which festive events took place, the grotto. According to fashion at the time, ancient statues stood in the niches of the round building. For the ruler, the grotto had a special function: Here he met with his respective lover. This half-public, half-private presentation of his love life was a baroque feature in which the ruler sought to underline his position in society through pomp and ceremony. In 1979, the grotto was restored and today houses an Askanierausstellung.
     
    The park was restored in 2005 according to original plans. Today you can still discover some exotic plants in the Fürstengarten, especially worth seeing is the Ginkgo tree. In addition, from the terrace you have a magnificent view over the Elbe.

      Fine vantage point over the Elbe.

        On the top of the Elbe slope, very close to the Lauenburg Castle, there is the Fürstengarten, a protected cultural monument. This magnificent, baroque "pleasure garden" from the 16th century is an ideal destination to experience the fun hour above the Elbe.
        The beautifully landscaped park in the middle of the Lauenburg Upper Town always invites you for a walk. A very special atmosphere arises when you spend the evening in the evening for a fun hour, let your gaze wander over the Elbe and Dreiländereck from the viewing terrace and enjoy the many colors that the setting sun conjures up on the horizon.
