Current state of former manor park establishments in Szymonowo

Summary/Abstract: A village and former manor house and park establishments in Szymonowo are located 9 km south of Małdyty, in the vicinity of Lake Ruda Woda. They cover a total area of 6.32 ha. The manor house, built in the 19th century, is situated in the park. Until 1928 the whole estate was owned by Count Finck von Finckenstein. In the years 1945-1946 the estate in Szymonowo was taken over by the State and a children’s home was established there. The shape of the landscape park resembles an equilateral triangle. Main alleys run from the manor house towards two ponds and along the line connecting both ponds on the western side. As concerns the former establishments, the park architecture and some alleys have survived until today. An old-growth forest, dominated by Acer platanoides L., Ulmus laevis L., Fraxinus excelsior L., Tilia cordata Mill., Picea abies L. Karst, is also well-preserved. Near the manor house, to the north-west, there are monument oaktrees (Quercus robur L.) whose breast height is 380 to 450 cm. Along the western boundary of the park there are tree lines composed mainly of Norway spruces and small-leaved limes. Only some of the walkways have survived.
