Schloss Muskau is located in the German district of Görlitz in the state of Saxony. It is situated in Muskau Park, an expanded park that has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 2004. The construction complex took a long time to develop. The current main structure, known as Neues Schloss or New Palace, was created in the Neo-Renaissance style in the 19th century. It burned down in 1945 and remained a ruin for decades until being rebuilt until 2013. Stretching along both sides of the German-Polish border on the Lusatian Neisse, Muskau Park is the biggest and most well-known English landscape garden in Central Europe. At the request of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871), the park was designed starting in 1815. Inspired by Humphry Repton, whose son John Adey worked at Muskau from 1822 onward, Pückler rebuilt the medieval fortification as the New Castle, the compositional center of the park with a network of paths radiating from it and a pleasure ground. The extensions continued until 1845, when Pæler was forced to sell the patrimony due to his massive debts. Prince Frederick of the Netherlands purchased it the following year and hired renowned landscape gardener Eduard Petzold, a pupil of Pückler, to finish his plan. Princess Marie, his daughter, succeeded him after his death in 1881 and sold the estates to the Count von Arnim. #History#Architecture#Castles
