Keywords:
Pszczyna park, Ludwig Anhalt, memoirs, the ducal family, daily lifeAbstract
The Pszczyna park, whose history is inextricably linked to the reign of the Saxon family of Anhalt-Köthen-
-Pless, which reigned in Pszczyna from 1765 to 1846, was over the centuries, together with the castle and
its surroundings, rebuilt and changed according to the style prevailing at the time – from Renaissance to
Baroque in the 18th century, as well as during the reign of the said family. On the basis of the life testimonies – above all the diaries of Duke Ludwig and his mother Luisa Ferdinanda – it is possible to reconstruct
and detail both the development of the landscape design and the life and everydayness of the park, which
was an important place for this princely family.
