24 hectares of fertile land have been acquired at the beginning of the XX century botanist, scientist and a very enthusiastic man named Kuido Riedl to create a unique collection of rare plants collected from around the globe. He enthusiastically took up the matter in a few months and then planted 500 different species of trees, bushes and flowers grow not only in the most remote corners of the planet, but in the Moravian-Silesian Region. Thus was born one of the most interesting natural parks in the Czech Republic, on the basis of which in 1958 was founded Arboretum Novy Dvur. Now this buffer zone belongs to the Silesian Municipal Museum.

In 1928 Riedl left Silesia, leaving the park, which became his life, his daughter Alzhbeta. He made her promise to take care of the estate, which she did until 1945. At this time the new plants in the park did not appear, so it can be concluded that the reserve entered the stage of its decline. After the Second World War about it, no one cared. There were weeds that hinder the free growth of exotic plants. And only in 1958 it began a new stage of development of the park.

At this point in the arboretum it presents about 7000 plants that grow on the 5 continents. There is a centuries-old cedars and delicate orchid, luxury, lush blooming rhododendrons and prickly cactus as tall as a man.

The whole area of ​​the park is divided into climatic zones, so for the sand dunes offers the swamps, pine forest, alpine lawns, a Japanese garden and so on.
