1.
In 1747, the Ticino Andrea Gallasini, court architect to the Prince Abbots of Fulda, designed a strictly symmetrically arranged garden, the main feature of which was the central axis, which still extends across the state spa today.Over the course of time, additions were made to the building ensemble, particularly by King Ludwig I. This also involved enlargements of the gardens. The baroque gardens were partially converted into an English garden. Despite many changing garden trends, the structure has been preserved to this day and is a defining feature of the park. In contrast to the unspoiled nature of the surrounding meadows and forests, it gives the ensemble a special charm.Source:de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staatsbad_Br%C3%BCckenau

2. Today's plantings are based on the structure of the historical model in terms of new planting and care. The chestnut trees on the avenue are cut strictly in a box shape, and the lime tree arcade below the Fürstenhof also corresponds to the historical specifications. Old and rare trees can be admired in the park, including a "thousand-year-old oak" near the herb garden with a circumference of seven meters[1], as well as the ginkgo tree, the cucumber magnolia and the "oak-leaved hornbeam" (a mutation). Around 60 tree species are listed in the tree register created in 1992.Source:de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staatsbad_Br%C3%BCckenau
