Günthersburgpark

If you're looking for a castle in Günthersburgpark, you'll be searching in vain. The small water castle built in the 17th century, complete with moat and drawbridge, no longer exists since the Rothschild family replaced it with a summer palace in 1855. But only the orangery remains of that palace, which was heavily damaged in World War II and later rebuilt.

None of this takes away from the 7.4-hectare oasis in Nordend: today the people's park, with its sprawling lawns, old trees, water features, sculptures, and adventure playground, is one of the city's most popular green spaces. The atmosphere is especially lively during the STOFFEL Open Air in summer – with concerts, a night flea market, children's programs, and cabaret. Who needs a castle then?
