The park was designed with a focus on 'picturesque' principles, intentionally utilizing the topography to create depth and perspective.
Several ancient trees in the park are registered as protected natural monuments due to their age and species rarity.
The landscape design includes elements characteristic of the Romantic period, intended to evoke emotional responses through deliberate arrangement of flora.
The park connects directly to the chateau, which was once the summer residence of the Chotek family, prominent figures in 19th-century Austro-Hungarian administration.
The Castle Park in Velké Březno is an English-style landscape garden surrounding a late-Empire chateau originally built for Count Karel Chotek in the 1840s. The grounds feature a diverse collection of mature arboreal specimens, including rare exotic trees that have been maintained since the 19th century. A network of walking paths winds through the park, leading to scenic vistas overlooking the Elbe River valley. The park serves as a transition zone between the formal architecture of the chateau and the natural surroundings of the Bohemian Central Highlands. Visitors can observe historical landscaping elements designed to create framed views of the surrounding hilly terrain.
