This facility was built as a romantic park setting in the years 1905 to 1907 under city gardener Josef Krupka and developed into a popular destination. The water lily pond, originally created as a drainage basin for the water reservoir, was supplemented by the bee castle in 1907. The picturesque concrete object comes from an exhibition of the Baden beekeepers' association in the palm house of the city gardens in 1906 and was equipped with beehives.

Today, the ensemble presents itself embedded in the black pine mixed forest as an inconspicuous area where time and weather have left their mark. The concrete pond basin is leaking and damage to the bee castle, e.g. caused by vandalism, is clearly visible.

The revitalization should make the area with the water lily pond and bee castle a "special place" again and fit into the existing range of attractions in the upper spa park, starting with the Rudolfshof, the newly built Theresienwarte and the numerous views to the Kaiser Franz-Josef Museum .
