On a space of 250 acres, the park encompasses Schloss Fasanerie within a small ideal landscape of diverse elements of wild and formed nature. Encircled by a high wall that brackets the ensemble of components, the park’s different areas fit uniformly together: meadows, flower beds, artistically composed lakes, paths bordering fields of freely grouped trees, and woods intersected by avenues. The woods connect to a largely untouched forest with a creek. 
The park can be seen as the origin of the entire castle grounds. The building of the official summer residence in 1738 was preceded by the establishment of a simple hunting park that Amand von Buseck, Prince Abbot and later Prince Bishop of Fulda (1737-1756) outfitted as an important Baroque era garden in accordance with the needs and fashions of 18th-century design. This included a terraced, symmetrically arranged pleasure garden south of the castle terrace, tree-line avenues, and series of small ponds. Today, the park’s pavilion buildings and other relics testify to the brilliant splendor of the waning Baroque age. 
In 1816, when the Fulda territories came into the possession of the Electors of Hesse, a new era had emerged in which park design also took a completely new turn, that of the 18th-century English landscape garden. During the park’s renovation between 1824 and 1827, Elector Wilhelm II (1777-1847) had the geometric forms and strict design of the pleasure garden altered in favor of a more naturally styled continuous landscape park intersected by curved paths. Based on this extremely artistically designed layout of the Romantic period, the park today is a historical garden monument and attracts strollers year-round to the "Fasanerie."You will get a first impression from the panaroma picture of the Garden Lake.
