Ludwigslust Palace Park
The 120-hectare palace park in Ludwigslust is the most extensive and, with its water features, bridges, artificial ruin, Swiss chalet, mausoleum, church, and monuments, probably the most varied park in Mecklenburg.
Around 1760, this garden was expanded and redesigned into a Baroque park, incorporating the adjacent mixed forest. It was shaped by J. J. Busch, who worked under Duke Friedrich Franz I. The palace park was redesigned during the mid-19th century according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné.
The park contains many small architectural features, including the first neo-Gothic church in Mecklenburg, the Catholic Church of St. Helena, which was erected between 1803 and 1809 according to plans by Johann Christoph von Seydewitz. The park also contains the classicist mausoleum for Crown Princess Helena Pawlowna, which was built in 1806 according to plans by Lillie, and a mausoleum by Johann Georg Barca for Duchess Luise. Pavilions, sculptures, and water features enrich the palace park and provide a beautiful example of man-made nature that can be enjoyed in every season.
