The park belonging to the castle is an approx. 20 hectare English park, including a large lake with structurally rich shores and numerous old trees.

The castle park was created in the 19th century and today, with its diverse structures - including the large lake as a species-rich still water or the rest of a hardwood fence in the north of the park - offers important habitats for a large number of animal species.

A lot of different seating has been created in the park where you can linger.
