Special exhibitions
The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle
In 2019, the Gardens were home to carnivore plants.
The special exhibition, “Killer plants – The green carnivores”, offered an overview of the beautiful yet
terrifying world of these refined trappers.
The exhibition showcased different types of traps and the great biodiversity of these bizarre survival artists, all enriched by living plants,
interactive experience stations and guided tours. There were more than 500 carnivore plants on display,
including 110 different varieties and types from 14 different genera which can be found all over the world: looking at the number of carnivore plants alone,
this made the exhibition one of the largest in Europe.
