Harrachpark

The Harrachpark in Bruck an der Leitha was planned and laid out at the beginning of the 18th century as a Baroque garden by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt for the Harrach family. At the end of the 18th century, the gardener and botanist Christoph Lübeck from Anhalt-Dessau redesigned the park in the style of an English landscape garden and today it is one of the most important gardens in Central Europe. In addition to its art-historical value, Harrach Park is also important as a refuge for rare animal and plant species. Around 50 bird species regularly breed here. This makes the park one of the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe. In addition to water birds, there is a remarkable wealth of amphibians and reptiles. A large number of dragonfly species buzz around the meadows along the watercourses. It has been revitalized in recent years and is open all year round.
