An old garden from the 16th century, it has been the property of the city since 1930. The pleasure palace built on stilts in the pond - built in 1573 - has been extensively restored in recent years and turned into a café.
The garden with its lawns, the fountain, a sundial and the old chestnut trees is very popular in the summer months. In the middle of the garden, the basin of an old fountain from 1705 was discovered in 1968. Since then it has been in function again with a new base and the new fountain bowl.
In 1734, a healing water was discovered in today's Brunnenallee and expanded into a healthy fountain. Many spa guests visited the spa and three years after the opening there were already 500 spa guests. In 1875 the bathing was stopped. The sources of that time have been made visible again by means of appropriate systems.

The Stadthagen city garden – it is located south of Stadthagen Castle in Lower Saxony – has an eventful history that dates back to the Renaissance period. For centuries it was a stately pleasure garden with a fountain, a pleasure house over the pond and a grotto. But in the early days it also served as a kitchen garden with its large stock of fruit trees and vegetable cultivation. In the 18th century it was remodeled in the Baroque style and in the 19th century it was partially leased to the citizens of Stadthagen. In the 1960s it was reconstructed as a baroque garden.

The Renaissance Garden in Northern Europe does not form a single unit with the castle. Spatially separated by ramparts or ditches, it leads a life of its own, frequently, as well as in Stadthagen outside the Fortification. This made the construction of so-called Lusthäuser necessary, in which the company could withdraw in inclement weather.
