Today the park serves as a recreational area for countless walkers every day, as well as an attractive running route for joggers and Nordic walkers. In addition to the castle, striking places are the deer gate at the southern end of the park and the large tournament field in the north with the adjacent Ellernteich. The tournament venue in particular is also the venue for various renowned major events such as the vintage car race “Vintage Race Days”, the medieval festival “Spectaculum”, the “Rasteder Musiktage” with guests from all over the world, the equestrian event “Oldenburg State Tournament” and the “International Grass track racing for motorcycles.

The municipality of Rastede has been working on a concept for the future design and use of this park, which is unique in the northwest, since 2017. As a basis for this, the existing situation was recorded in 2018 and a current area representation was developed.

Rastede Castle Park

Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig acquired the former monastery property in 1777, had the castle built as a country house in the classicist style and in 1784 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, after an 8-year educational trip during which he studied art and philosophy of antiquity, set out on a European trip with 91 stops, including to Wörlitz and England, where he explored the first landscape gardens. As early as 1778, he made his own designs for the 10-hectare park and the park equipment, including the Temple of Venus, built as a tea house in 1783. The castle served as the summer residence of the Dukes and Grand Dukes of Oldenburg. Successor Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August expanded the park to include Ellernteich and Hirschpark around 1843. Today the castle garden is 330 hectares in size.
