The Medical Garden was originally part of a Baroque palace complex built by Count Johann Nepomuk Gobert d'Aspremont-Lynden in 1770, during the reign of Maria Theresa.

[3] The Aspremont Summer Palace is preserved to this day and serves as the seat of the dean's office of the Medical Faculty of Comenius University in Bratislava.

The garden was built and later renovated in the Baroque style and various types of ornamental and exotic plants were grown here, which were complemented by various artistic sculptures.

[4] At the beginning of the 19th century, the garden was bought by Count Esterházy, who further expanded it and organized various orchestras, evening balls and parties.

[9] The swan fountain, authored by sculptor Pavol Mikšik, is the main landmark of the Medical Garden and can be found in the center of the park.
