Manor Park

The history of Strąpie dates back to the 15th century, when it was part of the estate in Dzikowo. In the 18th century, the estate was owned by the von Küssow family, while in the first half of the 19th century it belonged to Major von Lebbin. He was the founder of the manor house and the park. The next owners of Strąpie were the Wöller family, under whose stewardship the estate underwent rapid development. A village was attached to the entire estate, and its residents were employed on the property. Among other things, horses, cattle, and pigs were raised here. To this day, the village features a well-preserved, spatially organized manor complex with a clear layout consisting of the manor house, the park, and farm buildings. All these elements are listed in the register of historic monuments.

The landscape park surrounding the manor house was established in the early 19th century on an area of approximately 6 hectares. It features elements characteristic of parks designed in the Romantic style. The park is located in the western part of the park-and-manor complex and is compositionally linked to two glacial lakes. The park terrain is gently undulating and slopes down toward Lake Trojak. The park’s path network has been obscured. Of the original compositional elements, the viewing clearing facing the manor’s garden façade and the oval pond remain clearly visible today. The clearing features numerous stately trees, mainly native species such as larch, spruce, linden, elm, oak, maple, birch, and cypress. Most of the trees in the park form single-species groups. Individual trees include rare species such as Lawson cypress, European larch, and long-stalked linden. The largest clusters consist of English oaks and English elms, while in another part of the park, white chestnut trees and white poplars dominate. Among the shrubs, you’ll find black elder and snowberry. The linden trees planted in several rows date back to the postwar period. In the part of the park by the lake, in the wetlands, white snowberry, common hazel, alders, and willows grow.

The manor and palace complex in Strapie is the largest and best-preserved structure of its kind in the Myślibórz County. It forms a cohesive whole in terms of function, space, and composition.

The park is open to the public.
