To the right of Hirtzbach Castle, Charles de Reinach had laid out, in the 19th century, an English garden, populated by beeches, ashes, pines and other rarer trees under our skies, including a pedunculated oak listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments. A brook and three ponds where swans and ducks frolic give it a pleasant note of freshness.
Open to the public, the complex houses several buildings, including, to the left of the entrance, the last Sundgau ice-house, where ice cut from the frozen surface of the ponds was stored.
Opposite the entrance to the park, on the islet called Sainte-Hélène, there is a chalet, the "bûcher", which serves as a wood store. Beyond the icehouse, another chalet, to the right of the driveway, was used to dry the boards, while the one copied from a model from the canton of Lucerne, at the end of the road, was used to store the wood.
