In the 1560s, Prince-Bishop Johann Georg Zobel von Giebelstadt started the construction of a garden, which was completed by his follower, Ernst von Mengersdorf in the 1580s.
The garden was lost after the property was sold and it wasn't until 1936, that horticulturist Viktor Luster turned the waste land into a rose garden.
The new garden, however, was short lived, giving way to a underground parking lot in the 1970s. In 1983, parts of the garden were rebuilt on top of the underground garage, resembling but a small portion of the original garden.
