Why go

The gardens reward visitors who want more than a simple lawn: cultivated beds, historic estate buildings and an English garden give the walk several distinct sections. Planting changes through the year, so the experience is different from a fixed indoor display. The nearby watermill museum provides a related stop if you want to connect the landscape with the estate's history.

What to look for

  • Iris collection and changing seasonal beds.
  • English garden and historic estate buildings.

Useful to know

  • The Brüglingen Watermill Museum is within the garden area if you want to extend the visit.
