I was approached by Goluchow near Poznan city for an opinion about the picturesqueness of this place. The estate on the Dark River with its 16th century Castle belonged to the aristocracy of the Leszczyński Family. However, it was not until the 19th century that a new buyer of the wealthy Dzialynski family estate transformed the estate into a place of exceptionally unique qualities. At the initiative of Izabela Czartoryska Dzialynska wife Jan Dzialynski, the Renaissance style castle was restored to overgrow him to the Renaissance Age Museum, while the neighboring distortion was transformed into a residential palace.

The greatest attraction was to be the Adam Kubaszewski project, which served as a live Catalog of plants. Kubaszewski has collected more than 600 species of plants capable of adoption in the natural conditions of the Polish climate. Kubaszewski experimented with exotic species and many of them he managed to adapt. The park stretched over an area of 160 hectares and work on the garden began in 1853. The park with the castle of the museum was made available to the public only in 1895 (42 years later).

Today, the Castle belongs to the National Museum in Poznan and the residential palace belongs to the Forestry Museum. The park seemed very neglected to me, as if it were no one’s. I was a little disappointed. It resembled a more natural grace than an arboretum. The specs of passers-by paid no attention to the growing focus on the snobbish presence in this place. But perhaps that’s the point of retaining this naturalness completely different from that of urban parks with perfect geometry and cameras in a number greater than trash cans. Fortunately, this is not the case here. Here nature has more silence and freedom from intervention. May it not occur to anyone to build bike paths and street lanterns here. In the era of the Renaissance such safeguins there was no example of Mrs. Izabela Czartoryska Dzialynska, let us care about maintaining the climate of the forgotten era (Brux).
