FREE ADMISSION

The renovation of the house as a listed building from 2017 to 2019 has been followed by the restoration of the garden, an equally listed structure, under the direction of the landscape architect Georg v. Gayl and his team since October 2021. On the day of the reopening, he will reflect upon the process of the renovation and the philosophy of English Gardens with landscape architect Philipp Sattler.
