Journal Title: Architectural Studies - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In Sudova Vyshnia there is a palace, dated to the XVIII century, which was modified numerous times and is known from iconographic sources to have been built in a manner that made it look as if it had a "a French costume", which was later rebuilt in the neo-renaissance style. During the time when the residence was the property of the Komorowski family of the coat of arms of Korczak, the area around the palace was turned into a 6 hectare naturalistic English landscape park. The greenery of the park was composed of the local deciduous trees: beeches, hornbeams, ash trees and black poplars, while the coniferous ones included larches. The area in front of the palace sported a lawn, with an arrangement that included both grouped and free-standing trees. During the time when the palace was the property of the Komorowski family , the municipal garden inspector of Lviv, the engineer Arnold Röhring designed and conducted "a beautification of the surroundings of the palace" and an adaptation of the park. The design called for having certain existing trees down, as well as the planting of new ones. The park in Sudova Vyshnia was provided with imported red oaks, tulip trees and magnolia trees, which were ordered as a part of a single transaction which included plants meant for the Park of Jan Kiliński, which was being built at the same time in Lviv. A pond with boats was also built and seeded with waterborne plants - water lilies. Various choice rose bushes were planted along the road that led to the palace. The park, even though it has grown wild, is still under protection as a natural monument. It has also been selected to be included in a project that features the preparing of a documentation of the extant state of historical garden complexes of the Polish-Ukrainian borderland, which is going to be developed by the employees of the Arboretum in Bolestraszyce. The project is being supported by funds from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
