The park has changed significantly since the 18th century, with important personalities such as Duke Frederick the Pious, Frederick Francis I and the landscape designer Peter-Joseph Lenné leaving their mark. Over 300 different trees and bushes make the Ludwigslust Palace Park a real attraction for nature lovers.
