Approximately 30 minutes away from the town there is one of the oldest English landscape parks in Germany – Schönbusch. It appeared in 1775 thanks to the initiative of the prince electorate and archbishop of Mainz Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal. The pavilion of princes electorate is preserved in the park. It is located in such a way that from here you can see Johannisburg which is located 2.5 km away, in the centre of Aschaffenburg. All in all, there are ten rooms in the pavilion, furnished with furniture in Ludwig XVI style.
In the 1780s the Red Bridge, the house of philosopher, the temple of friendship, shepherds’ huts, dining pavilion as well as artificial hills with an observation tower and devil’s bridge appeared on the park territory. In 1783 almost the entire area was open for visitors. In the beginning of the 19th century a labyrinth appeared on the territory of the park, while around 1900 the first beer garden was opened. The park is open for visitors, but you can only go inside the pavilion with an excursion.
