In the heart of Großharthau, surrounded by the charming historic town center, visitors will find the listed castle park with its idyllic gondola pond. The park's history is deeply rooted in 18th-century Saxon court culture. At the behest of Countess von Fleming, a magnificent park was created, enriched by sculptures, fountains, and orangeries. The Großharthau Castle Park is open to the public free of charge and invites you to linger and explore. https://grossharthau.de/schlosspark2/
