BUGA at the Petersberg Citadel – exploring the attractions of a baroque town fortressPetersberg Citadel, the only extensively preserved baroque town fortress in central Europe, was built on the site of a former Benedictine monastery. It dates from a time when Erfurt was ruled by the Electors of Mainz and is a unique example of the European style of fortress construction. A number of areas of the citadel will be redesigned especially for the Federal Horticultural Show (BUGA). At the main entrance of the exhibition area on the upper level of Petersberg hill, BUGA visitors will be greeted by expansive plantings of annuals and a spectacular view of Erfurt’s old quarter, while the city’s horticultural heritage is celebrated in the moat of the citadel.
