Baurs Park's tree-lined lawns extend all the way down to the banks of the Elbe. A former garden of G.F. Baur, the park became public property in 1939. The French architect, Joseph Rammée, provided the drawings for the design of the park which was created between 1802 and 1815. The cast iron railings on the promenade with their stylized palm trees were created in 1834. There is a lighthouse on the near bank of the Kanonenberg.
