In earlier years, lions and other predators were often and gladly placed as guardian figures in front of castles and mansions. The lioness in the Bergedorf Castle Park is much more recent and otherwise deviates from the usual forms of representation. She shows much less impressiveness than many of her male counterparts and also looks in the direction of the castle instead of watching in front of it. The granite sculpture shows simplified, flowing lines with rear legs set far back. Originally there was also a tiger by the same artist in the palace park next to the lioness.
