Rose garden : info and guided tour

Introduction to Rose Garden

The Bamberg Rose Garden is an ornamental garden located above the old town, within the historic complex of the Neue Residenz. From the terrace in front of the palace, it offers a much-loved view over the rooftops of Bamberg and the towers of the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Laid out in a Baroque setting, this garden is distinguished by its formal flower beds, orderly paths, and carefully maintained atmosphere. Roses occupy a central place, accompanied by flowerbeds and plant decorations that highlight the elegant character of the site. The whole combines an ornamental garden with a city viewpoint.

The site is particularly known for its floral display and for the contrast between the garden’s geometric design and the panorama over Bamberg. A visit allows you to appreciate both the architecture of the Neue Residenz and the landscape, with the cathedral and historic rooftops visible nearby.

Through the seasons, the Rose Garden attracts visitors with its colors, regular lines, and peaceful atmosphere in the heart of the monumental district. It is an emblematic place in Bamberg for understanding the relationship between a princely residence, a show garden, and a view over the old city.
