Opening hours:
The baroque garden is freely accessible via the side entrance of the landscape park (height tea house).
The baroque garden with the adjacent landscape park Ortisei was added in October 2017 to the pillar "garden dreams" of the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
The baroque terraced garden was formerly only accessible to the owners of the manor of St. Ulrich and their servants (gardeners). He should be a place of peace and reflection. Like the landscape park the terraced garden finds its first mention around 1720. Roderich v. Chr. Helldorff (1881-1940) was in the years 1921 to 1925, at the same time as the moated castle undergone major structural changes, the gardening and construction of the garden undergo a redesign. The immediate proximity to the castle and the sunny south-facing slope were the best conditions for this garden dar. The terracing was carried out by means of high limestone walls, which divided the garden into three approximately equally high levels. On the top terrace, directly on an imaginary central axis, is the two-storey classical garden house, the so-called tea house (restored and privately owned). Immediately on the imaginary central axis, the main path runs down two flights of stairs to the bottom terrace. These were each flanked by four almost life-size sandstone figures, which stood on the terrace walls to the right and left of the main entrance to the terraces and the tea house. These figures embodied the four seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are attributed to the master student Balthasar Permosers (creator of the sculptures in the Dresden Zwinger), Valentin Schwarzenberger (around 1730 to 1735). The retaining walls of the terraces were further divided in their width by three smaller figures, which should represent the months. These twelve putti were added in the 1920s by the sculptor Schulze from Naumburg as part of a garden redesign (no longer available today). In our time began with much effort to renew the Kalkbruchsteinmauern faithfully and to make the Baroque garden so that it lives up to its name.
