Guided Story
Imagine standing in a garden steeped in history. The air is fresh, and you might feel a gentle breeze on your skin. To your left, you can see the Botanical Garden, just a short stroll away. Did you know that this park was once the private garden of a wealthy silk manufacturer? The Schönwasser family lived and celebrated here during prosperous times. In the spring, you can hear birds building nests in the ancient trees. And in winter, when frost adorns the branches, the park whispers tales of past celebrations and quiet winter nights. Take a moment to enjoy the tranquility and let the history wash over you.
