Bolestraszyce Arboretum

Arboretum contains a park and a mansion - in which in the first half of the 19th century an excellent painter Piotr Michaowski lived and painted. Aged trees, being a remainder of the old castle gardens, are a very picturesque feature among new plantings, consisting of the species of foreign origin, as well as of the native specimens - trees, shrubs, and other rare, endangered, disappearing and protected plant species. There are over 3,000 species of plants, 120 species of vertebrates, and nearly 40 species of birds nesting in this place. The plant colection encompasses dendrological, pomological sections, the sections of aquatic, marsh-plants, plants which are endangered and those in danger of extinction, ericaceous and greenhouse plants. There is a permanent exhibition of sculptures and wicker articles.
