In the 19th century, Charles de Reinach laid out an English garden, to the right of Hirtzbach Castle, populated with beech, ash, pine and other more uncommon trees including an oak tree registered in the inventory of historical monuments. A stream and three ponds where swans and ducks frolic lend a pleasant touch of coolness.
Open to the public, there are several buildings to be explored including, to the left of the entrance, the last ice house in Sundgau, in which was stored ice cut from the frozen surface of the ponds.
Opposite the entrance of the park, on the island called St. Helena, there is a chalet in which wood is stocked. Beyond the ice house another chalet, on the right of the driveway, was used for drying planks while the one based on the model of the canton of Lucerne, at the end of the path, was used to stock hay.
