This landscape park dates back to the latter half of the 18th century, and its initiator was the owner of the Alūksne Estate, Baron Otto Hermann von Fittinghof. The largest park has important small buildings – the Alexander Pavilion, a temple honouring the Ancient Greek god of winds, Aeolus, the Palm House, a 1799 granite obelisk, the mausoleum for the noble family, a fountain basin that is made of a single piece of granite, as well as a set of granite benches. This is known as one of the most beautiful parks in Vidzeme.
Aluksne manor park was laid out in the second half of the 18th century according to the idea of Baron Burhard von Vietinghoff, as a Romanticism style scenery park. It was the best park in Vidzeme and is one of the richest dendrology parks in the Baltics. The park is special for its small but unique architectural objects. While walking through the park along the lakeside you can appreciate art of the 21st century - works created during the Stone Sculpture Symposium in Zvartava in the summer of 2001. Their authors are J. Švalbe, A. Vārpa, S. Kondrāts, I. Dobičins, and others.
