Wenckheim Castle Park
Behind the former castle, surrounded by a branch of the Dead Black Körös, lies a 3.7-hectare castle park, designed in the 1880s by the Wenckheim family in an English style. Its characteristic trees include pedunculate oaks, plane trees, lindens, horse chestnuts, ginkgo, and clusters of Scots pine. Since 1979, the park has been a protected natural area, and the leadership of Doboz considers its rehabilitation a top priority. In the park, you can see stunning trees that are over several hundred years old. Within the picturesque English park, you’ll also find the family mausoleum and chapel (1896-1902). The park was rehabilitated in 2006, aiming to restore its former state by planting new vegetation, creating flowerbeds, and replacing dead trees. This well-maintained and visually striking park is a favourite spot in the town, where both the young and old enjoy strolling beneath trees that have witnessed centuries of history and spending their leisure time. We warmly invite our guests to this marvellous natural setting, whose unique climate is shaped by the Dead Black Körös. Four bridges lead into the park, making this natural wonder in the heart of the town more accessible. In the western part of the park, there is a sculpture garden honouring the memory of former Hungarian kings. As you walk around the park and let your imagination wander, you can picture the everyday life of the former Wenckheim estate, as the former castle, the granary designed by Miklós Ybl, and the chapel and crypt at the park’s highest point are all within “arm’s reach” of each other. If you visit Doboz, don’t miss this experience!
