Herrengarten Brixen
Laid out in the Renaissance style in 1570, the Herrengarten of the Hofburg was originally reserved for the Brixen clergy for rest and relaxation.
It was not opened to the public until 1992. Two years of renovation work preceded the opening of the Herrengarten, during which it was reconstructed according to an old plan from 1831. Only the former arcade, the orangery and the summer house could no longer be rebuilt.

The prince-bishop Hofburg garden looks back on a long and rich history: first documented in the middle of the 13th century, it is not only one of the few preserved orchards, but is probably also the oldest historically documented tree garden on the continent. Together with the Herrengarten and the Hofburg, the Hofburggarten is today under direct conservation. While the prince-bishop's utility and pleasure garden was reserved for the clergy for centuries, the secluded jewel has now been made accessible to the general public as a place of cultural recreation and meeting place.

With its vine-covered pergolas, enclosed moats, simple garden pavilion, and two Far Eastern-inspired corner pavilions, the Hofburg Garden in Brixen, surrounded by high, ancient walls, seems to have fallen out of time.

Once reserved for the clergy, it has always been a place of retreat and contemplation.
