The right setting for splendid festivities
The beautiful old trees in the grounds of Stülpe Manor seem to be living sculptures, moving in the wind. The greenery has had much to endure in recent years, paths and sight lines having been lost, thus breaking up the harmony between architecture and nature. A scientific program now aims to restore these old structures and return the overgrowing work of art, in which a wide variety of botanical treasures blossom, to its former breath-taking beauty. Without violated nature, without “artificial” greenery, without precisely measured pieces of turf.
The historic orchard will also be rejuvenated and replanted with ancient fruit varieties. Thousands of rose bushes have already been planted, enclosures reconstructed. A special feature of the park pertains to the many varieties of trees of contrasting growth habits and colours that create a striking horticultural composition. Another characteristic of the park, rarely seen elsewhere, is the integration of agricultural land into the grounds’ vistas. It is this spaciousness which renders the grounds an ideal location for strolls and a natural backdrop for splendid festivities.
