Why you should visit it
The park was established in 1774 with an intention to create a public place. Under the influence of Baroque classicism, the paths in the park were set up in the shape of an 8-legged starfish with trees planted along them. Each alley has been named after its corresponding species of tree (alder, maple...) There is also a theatre located nearby.
Special tip
In of the corners of the park, there is a beautiful Gothic tower of the 15th century. Try to find it!
