Manor Park

Kuropatniki is a forest settlement located within the forests belonging to nearby Krzymów. In the early 17th century, Kuropatniki was a fief of the von Sydow family; in the second half of the 17th century, the settlement belonged to War Councilor Anton Ludwig Kruger. In 1816, the estate became the property of Johann Heinrich Neumann of Berlin. The estate remained in the hands of the Neumann family until 1945, when it was nationalized after World War II.

The hunting lodge was built by the owners of Krzymów between 1820 and 1830. The estate is surrounded by a 10-hectare manor park. The park was established in the 18th century and features many monumental trees.

The park’s shape resembles an elongated, irregular polygon that widens in the southern section. The central part of the park lies at a lower elevation, and the grounds feature a well-developed network of roads and paths.

Species found in the park include sessile oak, white chestnut, American linden, European ash, American tulip tree, Norway maple, field elm, black alder, European rowan, wild rose, and edible hawthorn. In total, thirty species of deciduous trees, ten species of conifers, over twenty species of shrubs, and two species of vines have been identified within the park. About 2 km from the park, in the forest, there is a massive boulder designated as a natural monument; nearby grow oaks with trunk circumferences exceeding five meters.

The manor park in Kuropatniki was added to the provincial list of historic monuments in September 1979.
