Rumford-Denkmal

You're standing before the Rumford Monument, an architectural heritage site crafted by Franz Jakob Schwanthaler in 1796. Nestled in the Englischer Garten, this monument commemorates Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count of Rumford, and his role in shaping this expansive park. To the south, you might catch a glimpse of Sammlung Bollert, just 90 meters away. Schwanthaler's work elegantly bridges art and landscape architecture, remaining significant to this day. The monument's location within the garden highlights Rumford's influence on this verdant space.
