It was laid out by the duke, Gorchakov, in late ХVІІІ century. There were no clear borders between the tame and the wild parts of forests, thus some glades were gradually turning into alpine meadows, flower gardens, and forest. During the rule of Gorchakov three ponds were created in the park. Banks of ponds were strengthened with stones. In 1920 the palace and service premises were destroyed and the park afforested. Still, it is a wonderful open air area and attractive memorial. Nowadays the park has 36 kinds of trees, bushes and lianas of 26 stems and 18 families. The park’s area is 144 hectares.
