Neskuchnoe tract
Neskuchne tract
Ukraine, Trostianets
The Neskuchnoye tract is a landscape arboretum - a monument of landscape gardening art and architecture of the 19th-20th centuries. It was founded on the basis of an old oak forest using the natural landscape on an area of 256 hectares. There are three lakes in the tract, and initially there was only one lake, the second was dug in 1794, the third was created in 1980 from a swampy area of the park. In the depths of the park, near the third lake, there is a stone "Grotto of the Nymphs" with three arched entrances, built in 1809, for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Poltava. Under Prince V. Golitsyn, the grotto was used for costumed performances on the theme of ancient Greek myths, hence its name. At the rear entrance to the park in 1911, a two-story brick manager's house was erected in the style
modern with a tower, which now houses the Krasnotrostyanets forest experimental station. In the Neskuchnoye tract you can find 400-year-old oaks.
