Manor Park

The manor park in Dolsk was designed and built in the English style. Its origins date back to 1832. It was likely designed by Peter Joseph Lenne, a renowned Prussian gardener and landscape architect of the Classical period. The park covers an area of approximately 39 hectares. Originally, the park in Dolsk was impressive. It featured an ornamental landscape park, a kitchen garden, a woodland park with a water body, and a mill pond in the western part of the park. The park also housed the von Treskow family mausoleum. On the side facing the road, the park was surrounded by a brick wall.

Currently, many of these elements have changed, and it is difficult to identify the park’s original layout. We can certainly distinguish the clearing in front of the palace, the cobblestone paths leading from the park to the palace, and the access roads along the park’s boundaries. Parts of the kitchen garden have been preserved. A section of the boundary wall along the rural road has been preserved in its entirety; in other places, only the remains of brick posts have survived. Over 50 species of trees and shrubs, both native and more exotic, have been preserved in the park. Of particular interest are the common catalpa, Chinese juniper, magnolia, and American tulip tree. Among the native species, it is worth noting trees that are sometimes over 100 years old—oaks, European elms, London plane trees, European ash trees, hornbeams, and beech trees. Many of them are designated as natural monuments.
