The gardens were initially laid out circa 1850 by Count Joseph von Trauttmansdorff (1788-1870) during the castle's restoration. Empress Elisabeth of Austria was a frequent visitor to Meran and the gardens. A bronze bust in her memory was placed in the gardens after her assassination in Geneva in 1898.
After being used for other purposes the original gardens disappeared. Between 1994 and 2001, a completely new garden was planted around the castle. In 2001 the new Trauttmansdorff botanical gardens were opened to public.[1]
