The park stretches from the palace to the shores of Lake Czernikowskie, covering an area of 5.6 hectares. The park is located on flat terrain that slopes down to the lake’s shore. It is a naturalistic-style park. It was established in the late 18th century. The park is dominated by mature deciduous trees—linden, beech, maple, and oak. The trees range in age from 60 to 140 years. Among the park’s trees, a common beech with a trunk circumference of 410 cm and an oak named “Dobromir” with a trunk circumference of 480 cm stand out. According to legend, Bolesław Chrobry was to meet the Slavic prince Dobromir under this oak, and Dobromir gave him his daughter Emnilda in marriage. In the park, you can also see a linden tree-lined avenue, next to which lies the family cemetery of the estate’s former owners.
Like the palace, the park is privately owned. It is clear that the owners are taking further steps to restore the park—they have tended to the lawns and cleared the lake shore of self-sown trees. The park is open to visitors.
