Manor Park

The manor park in Syrkowice dates back to the late 19th century. It was designed in an eclectic style. The park covers an area of 1.67 hectares. The park was laid out on a rectangular plan behind the manor house. It consisted of groups of trees planted in rows along the boundaries, as well as individual specimens surrounding the manor house. A red-leaved beech was planted as a solitary tree in an open space. The park was expanded at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. At that time, an orchard surrounded by sycamore hedges was also established. An open space was created, on which an ornamental garden was laid out, and in its center a gazebo was built, shaded by overhanging branches of thuja and elm trees. In the northern corner of the park stands a large erratic boulder that once served as a gravestone. The park’s layout is well-preserved and clearly defined today. The park is home to oaks, maples, beeches, and linden trees. Various other tree species were planted among the oldest beeches and spruces. The park served as the setting for a manor house built in the second half of the 19th century in the Neoclassical style. A road lined with chestnut trees led to the manor house. After World War II, the manor house was rebuilt and placed under the administration of the State Agricultural Farm. Later, it housed a preschool and residential quarters. The park is open to the public, while the manor house can only be viewed from the outside.
