It's a relatively small garden of Kaiserburg Nürnberg (the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg)…read more
The castle garden that exists today was laid out on bastions which were built on the north and west sides between 1538 and 1545. On the large bastion there is a rose quarter in the form of a square parterre, which is framed by a line of trees, some of which consist of Japanese pagoda trees (or sophora). From there a path leads to the southern part of the garden on the lower bastion. The central rondelle is spanned by a strictly cut tree rondelle made of field maple. They give a very nice shade during the summer, and it should look very pretty when the leaves start to change colors in the fall.
Quite frankly I was not very impressed with the rose garden section because it simply lacked volume and species of blooming roses, but the flower garden was well-maintained and attractive. With nice shade trees in circular formation, it was very relaxing even during the hot sunny early afternoon.
