The landscape park made Bad Muskau, a small town in Upper Lusatia, world famous. Hermann, Prince of Pückler-Muskau, began to have the park laid out as an English garden in 1815. After World War II, the park was cut in two by the new German-Polish border. In 1989, a contract on cross-border cooperation was signed, with both countries agreeing to maintain park. The Polish and German sections of the park are now linked by a new double bridge.
