About Mainau Island

The 45-hectare Mainau Island lies just off the shores of Lake Constance in the far southwest of Germany, close to Switzerland and Austria. Its over 150-year-old Arboretum, home to giant sequoias, invites you to relax and experience nature through the seasons. Around a million tulips, rhododendrons, scented roses, perennials, and colorful dahlias bloom in the park and gardens. Palms and citrus plants lend a Mediterranean flair to the island in summer. The Teutonic palace, completed in 1746, and the palace church St. Marien are architectural highlights of the Baroque era and stand in close proximity to 15-meter-tall palm trees. Not only nature and garden lovers but also families enjoy the island. Children can explore inspiring adventure playgrounds designed to spark creativity and fun.

We are open all year round!

Explore Mainau Island in every season – spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Enjoy the breathtaking nature with us on Lake Constance, open 365 days a year.
