A Trip Through a Fantastic Landscape

Many people felt drawn by the spirit and doctrine of the Moravian Brethren. One of them was Christina Friderica the wife of Mr. von Holstein Lord-in-Waiting, who in 1777, was repudiated by the King. According to Ms. von Holstein's wish, the couple bought an estate near Christiansfeld and it was here that she devoted her life to the munificent work for the sick, old and poor people.

ChristineroClose to the estate, Ms. von Holstein established the park Christinero with various different houses; a chapel for the daily prayers, a pavilion with birds in aviaries and a cooking house, where coffee and tea was served. She cherished the place so much that, by her own wishes - and with Royal permission - Ms. von Holstein was buried in the park.

There are approximately 5 kilometres of exceptional walking trails throughout the park. Walk along twisted paths through a fantastically wooden landscape with lead past small ponds with natural fountains and knotty beeches. Continue along to come to the cooking house, the pavilion and the chapel, all of which have been very well-preserved. The wood is filled with many different types of trees which the missionaries of the Moravian Brethren brought back to Ms. von Holstein from their many travels abroad.
