Manor Park

Klępicz is a large village situated on the western shore of Lake Nowe Objezierze Zachodnie. The village features a 15th-century church built of stone and brick, as well as a manor park.

The park is situated on a protruding peninsula, covers an area of 2 hectares, and was established in the 19th century. A palace and a driveway once stood in the western part of the park. The building was destroyed during the war in 1945. There was a clearing between the palace and the park.

The park layout features a single main path that connected the eastern part of the park to the palace, which served as the focal point of the compositional axis. The park’s tree cover is primarily of a forest character; among the preserved vegetation, several interesting species can be found. The park is home to English oaks, sessile oaks, field elms, European ash, Norway maples, broad-leaved linden, common hornbeams, field maple, white poplar, black locust, European larch, cypress, black elder, mock orange, white snowbell, and common spindle tree. In total, the park is home to nearly 30 species of trees and nearly 10 species of shrubs. Particularly noteworthy are the poplars with circumferences exceeding 4 meters, oaks with trunk circumferences ranging from 3.5 to 4 meters, and a cypress with a circumference of over one meter.

The park was likely created through forest development—ornamental shrubs were planted and paths were laid out. Many of the trees are the result of self-seeding. Currently, the park is somewhat neglected. The site was added to the provincial list of historic monuments in October 1982.
