History and infrastructure

[edit]

In 2007, it was decided to honour the close friendly relations between Bhutan and Austria. Bhutan has had been a priority country for the Austrian Development Cooperation.[3] The park was built on the occasion of the 100-year anniversary of the Kingdom of Bhutan.[4]

In 2010, on the initiative of the Austrian-Bhutanese Society a chorten, a Bhutanese stupa, also known as a turret of happiness was erected.[5] Again in 2014, students of HTL Mödling constructed a Mani Wall in the park.[6] The park was inaugurated on April 6, 2012, in the presence of the Ambassadors of China, India and the President of the Bhutanese Society.[7] Friendship societies of India, Japan, Cambodia, Mongolia, Burma, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand also participated in collaborative efforts.[8]
