The park was designed as stately baroque garden. In 1781 the park was turned into a landscap garden in the English style.

In the park of the estate Freaylemaborg a sculpture is placed. Seenfrom the windows of the mansion’s main reception room, the work is a tiny blob of colour which stands out more or less clearly against the Groninger landscape beyond, depending the light. It gains a more imposing presence as the viewer approaches it along the winding paths of the estate. In Cycli, Joost van Santen offers a visual image of two invisible phenomena: light and gas.
