To the east of the Baroque garden, the path leads to the Schweibach stream and the “Prince’s House”. The stream crosses the whole park from south to north with occasional interruptions.
To the north and east of the palace are large park areas created in landscape style, which have their origins in two extensions dating from the 19th century. Fully grown park trees and open areas of grass with sweeping views determine the park’s character.
The Butterborn can be found in the landscape-style part of the park. This is a pond which is fed from a spring at its southern tip. The spring is contained in a grotto made of roughly-hewn quarry stone. It was used as a cooling chamber for butter when the palace was the summer residence of the princes of Lippe.
At the northern edge of the park, visitors come to the northern entrance with its Baroque garden gate dating from 1738. The gate was moved there when the park was extended in 1862/63. The inscription refers to Count Albrecht-Wolfgang, who was responsible for the gate’s construction. There is a wonderful view from the gate along the avenue of linden trees to the distant palace. The linden avenue originally continued to the north on the other side and stretched far beyond the Emmer river.
After passing through coniferous-type areas of the park and past two ponds dating from the extension of 1862, visitors finally reach the two buildings erected in 1817 by Princess Pauline of Lippe as a greenhouse and garden house respectively. The “flower house” was restored some years ago in keeping with principles appropriate to the care of protected structures. Together, the buildings form the boundary between the two 19th-century extensions to the park. Visitors finally reach the northern palace forecourt and palace by walking along the linden avenue.
A stroll around the garden can be rounded off very pleasantly with a view of the Baroque garden from the terrace of the palace café on the south side of the palace.
Schlosspark Schieder covers approximately 19 hectares and has enjoyed protected status since 1999. Combined with the 19th-century English landscape park to the north of the palace, it thus represents more than 300 years of garden history in Lippe and is therefore of great significance in terms of garden history, not just for Lippe but also on a regional level.
