About

Tucked in Muskau Park, a UNESCO World Heritage gem, the Castle Gardens and its permanent exhibition “Pineapple! The Queen of Fruits” offer a surprising twist on botanical history. Once a rare luxury symbol for European nobility, pineapples found a peculiar home in the grand visions of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau. The exhibition explores how this tropical fruit captivated aristocrats and inspired ambitious greenhouse projects. Strolling through these picturesque gardens, visitors can admire the seamless blend of natural beauty and historical whimsy.
