Schlosspark Biebrich

About

Schlosspark Biebrich is a baroque landscape park in Wiesbaden, stretching along the Rhine River behind Biebrich Palace. Originally designed in the early 18th century by Maximilian von Welsch and later expanded by Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, the park blends formal French garden elements with English landscape style. Its axial layout leads from the palace to a central pond, framed by tree-lined paths, sculptures, and open lawns. The park was once the summer residence of the Dukes of Nassau and reflects their taste for grandeur and natural harmony. Today, Schlosspark Biebrich serves as a public green space and cultural venue, hosting concerts, festivals, and leisure activities. Its mature trees, historic vistas, and proximity to the Rhine make it one of Wiesbaden’s most picturesque and historically rich parks, offering both tranquility and architectural elegance.
