The shady De Plantage park, the long avenues, the green meadows and the windy dike.
On Sundays and during holidays, many hikers enjoy this rural part of Culemborg, located on one of the four lanes that house horses, cows and even a stork.
A walk "above the city" has been a popular pastime for centuries. The "Plantagie", predecessor of the current city park, dates from 1779. Only wealthy Culemborgers are allowed to walk around the dead straight avenues. Henrica Helding from Culemborg speaks delightedly about those "sweet avenues!" And "dark trees!"
The Plantagie is in need of modernization in the mid-nineteenth century. The young landscape gardener Louis Paul Zocher (1820-1915) is commissioned to design a new park. The first major assignment for the later designer of the Amsterdam Vondelpark. Zocher draws a park in English landscape style: with scattered tree groups, an idyllic pond with a bridge, winding paths and surprising views.

De Plantage, municipal monument and city park of Culemborg, was designed in 1850 by the famous architects J.D and L.P. Zocher and laid out in the English landscape style.

History restored

During the renovation of the park, the municipality decided to limit modifications so that the original English design of the Zochers is still clearly visible. Gardeluxe supplied Zocher benches and associated Reabin waste bins for the entire park.

Bandstand

In the city park De Plantage originally stood a bandstand, which unfortunately fell around 1950. Under the initiative of Stichting Muziek Plantage, the rebuilding of the bandstand has become a fact: Alderman Henk Wichgers has officially opened the bandstand and handed it over to the municipality of Culemborg. The sounds can be heard clearly from the two Zocher benches in front of the tent.
