Rosenhöhe Park

Rosenhöhe Park is a park in eastern Darmstadt, standing on a hill. It contains a rose garden, with a rose dome at its highest point, the remains of the Rosenhöhe Palace, the mausoleums of the Hessian grand-ducal family, meadows, orchards, and many tree species, including sequoias. The park serves as a recreation area.

The whole Rosenhöhe Park is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention. The buildings of the Mathildenhöhe, or New Rosenhöhe Artists' Colony, including Jugendstil houses and a Wedding Tower, stand on the edge of the park, but it is not part of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony UNESCO World Heritage Site.
