    Rastede Castle Park

    Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig acquired the former monastery property in 1777, had the palace built in the classical style as a country house and commissioned the garden architect C.F. Bosse, son of the court gardener in Wolfenbüttel, with the creation of an English garden.

    Peter Friedrich Ludwig, born in Eutin in 1755, started after an 8-year educational trip, during which he studied art and philosophy of antiquity, on a journey through Europe with 91 stops, including to Wörlitz and England, where he explored the first landscape gardens. As early as 1778 he made designs for the 10-hectare park and the park furnishings, including the Temple of Venus, which was built as a tea house in 1783. The castle served as the summer residence of the Oldenburg dukes and grand dukes. Successor Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August expanded the park around 1843 to include Ellernteich and Hirschpark. Today the palace garden is 330 hectares in size.
