Several figures (pictures left and right) made of the best white Carrarian marble adorn the Mayor's Garden, the former garden of the Doos Chancellery, whose palace was long used by the city of Wilster as the New Town Hall. Chancellery Doos bought the figures at auction when the Friedrichsruh Palace was demolished (at Drage). Twelve of the allegorical figures have survived to this day.

The Bürgermeisterpark is a green area in the middle of Wilster. With its benches and meadows, it invites you to linger and relax.

The building is a stately two-storey structure with seven window axes, a basement and a fully developed attic. The former palace of the Doos family was built from 1785 to 1786 and bequeathed to the city of Wilster in 1829 by the Doos councilor after her death.

The outside staircase leads to an elegant hallway furnished with oil paintings and splendid cupboards, the floor of which is covered with marble slabs. The family's living rooms are on the ground floor, the representative rooms on the upper floor and the bedrooms and the library with around 10,000 volumes on the top floor. Almost all of the furnishings come from the Friedrichsruhe Palace in Drage, which was built in the middle of the 18th century and demolished a good 100 years later by the market count Friedrich Ernst von Brandenburg-Culmbach. On the upper floor, a ballroom extends over the entire front of the house with stucco work, crystal chandeliers and high mirrors in gold frames. Today the hall is used by the city council and as a room for the civil wedding. The Doos family's personal belongings no longer exist, they were auctioned off to the public as the will only prohibited the sale of all fortified furnishings and the cupboards and chests.

Behind the building there is a large garden, mainly laid out in the French style, with figures of gods made of white marble from the ancient world of legends, which also presumably come from Friedrichsruh Palace. Originally, the two-hectare garden included a two-story, wooden summer house, a carriage house and horses and a bathing house. However, these were destroyed when a bomb was dropped in World War II in 1944.
