    Initially designed around 1700 as a symmetrically aligned baroque garden with water basins and fan-shaped canals, the Karlsaue was redesigned at the end of the 18th century as a landscape garden in the English style. However, the baroque lines of sight and meaning are still accessible to visitors today.

    In parallel to the landscape design, Landgrave Karl (1654 - 1730), who gave the ensemble its name, had the Orangery Palace built as a summer residence at the starting point of the baroque lines. Today it houses the Astronomical and Physics Cabinet and Hesse's largest planetarium. Right next to it is the Marble Bath, Germany's last significant and preserved representative bathing complex from the late Baroque period. At the southern end of the park lies the island of Siebenbergen, which is also called the "Flower Island" because of its changing floral splendor in spring and summer.

            A beautiful, well-maintained baroque garden in the Karlsauen park, it gives you a sense of how the nobility once lived their lives. The varied paths, beautiful sculptures, and water features still invite you to stroll and pause.
