Architecture in the (herb) garden

In addition to the agricultural technology collection, the museum's garden area of around 2,000 square meters includes a sculpture garden and a botanical display as well as kitchen garden: the herb garden. In this area there are two special exhibits of the museum, which are the focus of the project: the so-called Lusthaus from the 18th century and a garden pavilion in Art Nouveau style from the early 20th century. Together with a third pavilion they form a new exhibition unit on the subject of garden architecture. To this end, the restoration of the Lusthaus was completed. This includes the restoration of the flooring, the walls, the refurbishment of the door wings and the new acquisition of skylight and windows according to the criteria for the preservation of historical monuments.

Furthermore, a third garden pavilion - a donation from the Schliephake family from Seehausen - has been awaiting restoration since the winter of 2001/2002. In the course its restoration, with large-scale additions and a level foundation surface, the pavilion was finally erected in the western moat where it completes the architectural ensemble.

Wheelchair access has been provided for the Lusthaus and the third garden pavilion. The project was generously supported by LEADER and was completed in the fall of 2022.
