Harrachpark

Right next to Prugg Castle lies Harrachpark, Bruck an der Leitha’s large green oasis. Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt laid it out at the beginning of the 18th century as a Baroque garden for the Harrach family. Towards the end of the century, gardener and botanist Christoph Lübeck redesigned it in the style of an English landscape garden. Today, according to the municipality, it is one of Austria’s most significant English gardens.

Rare trees, meadows, and watercourses characterise the landscape, and around 50 bird species regularly breed here. In recent years, the park has been carefully revitalised.

Culturally, Harrachpark shows its quiet side: nature walks such as ‘Baumflüsterei’ (tree whispering) or a ‘Breathwalk’ invite you to experience the park consciously and with all your senses, focusing on compatibility with nature. The park is open all year round.
