    The complete renovation of the legendary Koch Garden has begun

    Bratislava, 3 June 2025 – From the moment the capital city acquired the Koch Garden (Kochova záhrada) in 2022, it has been working continuously on its renovation. The impassable, overgrown garden was transformed into a park with an exceptional historical atmosphere, and even though it was only briefly open to the public, it quickly became a popular and sought-after place. Now it will undergo a complete renovation, due to which this little paradise in the middle of the city will be even better and, above all, safer for visitors. The capital city, in cooperation with the Staré Mesto (Old Town) city borough, can carry out the renovation of this national cultural monument thanks to financial support under the Interreg Slovakia – Austria programme, as well as a contribution from the VUB Bank Foundation.
