Schlosspark Krumke

Osterburg, Germany, Germany

---

Schlosspark Krumke is a historic landscape park in Krumke, a district of Osterburg in Saxony-Anhalt's Altmark region, Germany, originally developed from a medieval moated castle site first documented in 1170.

In the 17th century, the von Kannenberg family built an orangery and commissioned French architect Charles La Ronde for a Baroque pleasure garden with alleys, bosquets, hedges, the Temple of Fortuna, and cavalier house, later transformed into an English-style landscape park between 1854-1860 under the von Kahlden family with winding paths, a pond, and rare trees like blood beech and ginkgo.

Early 20th-century owner Arthur von Gwinner added a carp pond, alpine garden, tennis court, shooting range, and converted the Fortuna Temple into a stone collection cabinet, while post-WWII the site served various public uses before private restoration preserved its 12,000-square-meter grounds as a public garden today.
