Weißer Garten
The white garden -
a small garden of paradise in the historic centre of Horb
Beschreibung
The inner courtyard of the former Dominican convent was largely unused in the past and not accessible to the public. Together with local residents, the idea was born to redesign and enhance the idyllic location in keeping with its history. Following the English model, a white garden was created with white-flowering plants in combination with dark green shrubs. The white colour scheme is derived from the fact that the Dominican convent was also known as the White Collection, in keeping with the nuns' habit.
Today, the centrepiece of the garden is the St James' Fountain with the St James' shell as a pilgrimage symbol, as the St James' Way leads directly past the entrance to the garden. The fountain turns the "White Garden" into an oasis of peace and relaxation.
