Its origins date back to the second half of the nineteenth century. The author of the idea of creating the park was the Count Arnošt Emanuel Silva-Tarouca, a famous Czech dendrologist. Currently, many species of flowers and trees can be admired here, especially the heather plants are represented in large numbers.
The basis of the park areas were open spaces. Count Silva-Tarouca skillfully combined various plant species in such a way that the park looked favorable at any time of the year. As a dendrologist, he also thought of planting part of the area, today there are about 1,600 species of various trees, both native and exotic.
