Explore the Hortus Eystettensis Online
The Hortus Eystettensis is a spectacular botanical book from the early seventeenth century, illustrating the plants once grown in the prince‑bishop’s garden at the Willibaldsburg. Because the original volumes are extremely fragile and not accessible to the public, this website offers a digital opportunity to explore this documentary heritage, discover its seasonal structure, and experience its blend of early modern science and art.
