The complex, which is now almost 6 hectares in size, was built in the style of an English landscape park in the 19th century.

The park is part of the historic green connection from the Linn district to the city center of Krefeld. (...) The Sollbrüggen house is originally a medieval manor surrounded by moats, which was first mentioned in the 12th century. The estate burned down completely in 1781 and was rebuilt. The oldest surviving part of the building is the gatehouse from the 18th century. The north and south wings date from the 19th century. In 1840 the house was probably rebuilt in the classicism style according to plans by Adolph von Vagedes as a country residence for the silk manufacturer Peter de Greiff.
The facility has been owned by the city since 1925 and has housed the Krefeld Music School since 1955.(...)
Sollbrüggen Park is located in the Krefeld suburb of Bockum. It is home to the Sollbrüggen House, the former country house of a Krefeld silk weaving mill owner (today: Sollbrüggen Park music school), and is considered one of the most beautiful parks in Krefeld. The almost 6-hectare site was built in the style of an English landscape park in the 19th century. The planning is attributed to the garden architect Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe; the original design has been significantly changed in the course of history. The park is part of the historic green connection from the Linn district to the city center of Krefeld. As part of the Euroga2002plus horticultural exhibition, Sollbrüggen Park was also reconstructed according to preserved plans, including the re-creation of a pleasure ground. Due to its importance and attractiveness, the site was included in the Garden Art Route between the Rhine and the Maas.
Sollbrüggen Park is home to the only Lyre Oak (water oak, botanically Quercus lyrata) of all Krefeld parks. In addition, a six-meter-high stele made of Sipo wood, created by the artist Hans Joachim Albrecht, has been located there since 1971. It is entitled "Figurative Double Form". The Sollbrüggen House was originally a medieval manor surrounded by moats, which was first mentioned in the 12th century. The estate burned down completely in 1781 and was rebuilt. The oldest part of the building that still remains is the gatehouse from the 18th century. The north and south wings date from the 19th century. In 1840, the house was probably rebuilt in the classicist style according to plans by Adolph von Vagedes as a country estate for the silk manufacturer Peter de Greiff.
The complex has been owned by the city since 1925 and has housed the Krefeld Music School since 1955. The listed building has wall and ceiling paintings from the Wilhelminian period and Art Nouveau in some rooms. The illusionistic paintings on the upper floor were probably created by the brothers Jakob and Benjamin Orth, who came from Mainz. In the years 2001–2003, all paintings in the Sollbrüggen House were extensively restored.
