The Muskau Park (German common: Muskauer Park, officially: Fürst-Pückler-Park, Polish: Park Mużakowski), is the biggest and one of the most famous English-style parks of Germany and Poland. It covers 3.5 square kilometres of land in Poland and 2.1 in Germany. The park extends on both sides of the Lusatian Neisse river, which constitutes the border between the countries. The 17.9 square kilometres buffer zone around the park encompassed the German town Bad Muskau (Upper Sorbian: Mužakow) in the West and Polish Łęknica (former Lugknitz) in the East. The heart of the park are the partially wooded raised areas on the east bank of the river called The Park on Terraces.
On July 2, 2004, the UNESCO inscribed the park on the World Heritage List, as an exemplary example of cross-border cultural collaboration between Poland and Germany. It was inscribed to the list on two criteria, for breaking new ground in terms of development towards the ideal man-made landscape, and its influence on the development of landscape architecture as a discipline.
