The early Baroque Rose garden was built by count Maxmilian Thun-Hohenstein in the last third of the 17th century. The terraced garden in the Italian giardinette style is made up of a multi-level parterre developed from the salla terrena to the Gloriet (Gloriette) pavilion, which connects a straight staircase decorated by four sandstone life-size lions holding coats of arms.
