It was created in the nineteenth century, reportedly on the grounds of a former feudal estate, by Friedrich Herrmann Rötschke. Following World War II, the park was nationalized by the government, and has no admission fee (though there is a nominal parking fee). The park is an example of an English landscape garden, and it contains many small ponds and lakes. Its most well-known element is the Rakotz Bridge, a bridge especially built to create a circle when it is reflected in the water beneath it.
