Facts and practical information

Queen Auguste Victoria Park is a German landscape park in Umkirch near Freiburg, in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district of the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

It originated from the former castle and ancestral estate of Stephanie, Grand Duchess of Baden and was founded by the Portuguese titular queen Auguste Viktoria von Hohenzollern. The latter built a new palace in 1933 to 1934 in the now Hohenzollern property. The estate was bought at auction in 1993 by the publisher Werner Semmler and then restored. He bought back the former properties, added more land and built a new landscape park with six ponds in the style of an English landscape park according to his own plans.
