Klosterbergegarten & Gruson Greenhouses
Klosterbergegarten / Gruson-Gewächshäuser
A landscape park on the Elbe bank with a 19th-century cast-iron and glass greenhouse complex that houses tropical plants and cacti.
Klosterbergegarten is an English-style landscape garden designed by the Prussian garden master Lenné. It lies on the southern stretch of the Elbe bank, with lawns and old trees extending along the river. The Gruson Greenhouses grew out of the plant collection of the industrialist Gruson. The cast-iron and glass greenhouse complex displays tropical rainforest plants, cacti and water lilies. The greenhouses have been restored in phases in recent years, so check the official website for opening status. The park is free and about a 10-minute walk from Hasselbachplatz.
