... Nice view of the new castle surrounded by an extensive English-style landscape park... Herman von Pückler’s park was designed to illustrate an ideal connection between nature, culture, technique and spirit... one of the most beautiful and largest landscaped gardens in Europe... the park straddles the border, with the Neisse River running through it and connecting the two countries... it is made up of a number of smaller parks on either side of the German-Polish border, each with its own character.... the New Castle in neo-Renaissance style is a central point in the park, and its grounds include a permanent exhibition about the life of Prince Pückler-Muskau... it is a popular destination to explore a large, beautifully designed natural space that spans two countries... Thanks Sylwia! (✿◠‿◠)

Muskauer Park is a landscape garden initially developed between 1815 and 1844 by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau on the grounds of his estate, and continued by his student, Eduard Petzold. The whole park consists of around 728 ha of which 522 belongs to Poland.
It is believed that there was a water castle until the 15th century when the complex was extended. In the 16th century, the property turned from medieval fortification to representative castle. Prince Pueckler planned to heavily redesign the castle, he removed fortress walls, bridges, and the moat. As money ran out, the new owner, Prince Wilhelm Friedrich Karl von Oranien-Nassau took over and rebuild the baroque castle in the neo-renaissance style.
In 2004, Muskau Park was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
