Holzhausenpark

About

Holzhausenpark in Frankfurt am Main is a picturesque urban retreat steeped in history and charm, centered around the baroque Holzhausenschlösschen. Located in the Nordend district, the park was once part of a vast estate owned by the patrician Holzhausen family since the early 16th century. The current moated castle was built between 1727 and 1729, replacing a medieval water fortress destroyed during the 1552 siege of Frankfurt. The family sold the property to the city in 1910, and it was transformed into a public park. Today, Holzhausenpark spans 3.5 hectares and features majestic chestnut-lined avenues, a tranquil pond, and lush lawns framed by mature trees. The castle, with its French classicist-baroque design, adds a fairytale quality to the landscape. The park is designated as a play park, with two large playgrounds offering sandpits, climbing frames, and water features for children. Dogs are not permitted, ensuring a safe and peaceful environment. Holzhausenpark remains a beloved green space for families, locals, and visitors seeking quiet beauty and historical ambiance.
