Schlossgarten (Oldenburg)

[citation needed] In 1803 and 1805, the Duke acquired meadowland near the Schloss Oldenburg to create a garden and began work on this in 1809 with detailed plans.

In 1814, Duke Julius Friedrich Wilhelm commissioned reconstruction and the further investment to establish the garden.

[citation needed] The Duke worked on the garden for 42 years and the appearance that has changed little to the present day.

In the same decade, the former garden director, Max Heber, considered the needs of the general population of Oldenburg.

In 1914, the 100th anniversary of the castle garden was celebrated with an exhibition and the planting of oak trees by the ducal family from April to September.

[4] Unusually for a landscape garden in the English style, there is a lack of temples, ruins or chinoiserie.

Perhaps this difference can be explained by the fact that the ideas of the landscape garden designer Humphry Repton were followed, and he refrained from including such follies.
