Park/gardens
Close to Rheder Castle, you will find the lovingly redesigned baroque garden based on old patterns. The original 18th century garden had disappeared; after the wars, a kitchen garden was created here for the residents of the castle and the outer bailey. A separate nursery was also housed in this area, but had to give way during the Second World War to make room for the castle nursery. Today's baroque garden was laid out in a typical symmetrical design in 2012, with box trees adorning the individual squares. The garden is open all year round.



The Baroque garden is to be understood as a continuation of the architecture of the Baroque palace, and the large number of symmetries shown testifies to the high level of mastery of nature. A key element of the garden is an Empire bowl fountain over four metres high at the intersection of the main paths of the complex, which rises from an octagonal basin. This fountain and individual stone busts depict scenes from Greek and Roman mythology. Imposing fountains depicted events and figures. At the starting point of the main path, a mask fountain surrounded by hops gushes forth. It is dedicated to Gambrinus, the legendary Flemish king and patron of the art of brewing - a reference to the over 325-year-old brewing tradition in Rheder. Evergreen boxwood lines the beds and a variety of plants, including hyssop, thyme and lavender, can be found in magnificent bowls. Lovers of insects and birds, flora and fauna will also get their money's worth here.


In addition to the adjacent walk-through labyrinth, there are also six mini glass labyrinths for younger guests to discover. These can be found at the exit of the park on a terrace surrounded by bushes and rose bushes. They are mounted on four concrete U-shaped stones.
