The Church Park
The Church Park was built at the end of the XIXth century in the place where, in the years 1709-1887 a cemetery belonging to the Protestant parish functioned. Typical park features can only be seen in the fragment of the old cemetery that adjoins Stalmacha Street, with the so-called “small architecture”; paths and the layout of trees, typical of those found in parks. The most valuable trees are several gorgeous horse-chestnuts, a maple tree (Acer campestre) of an exceptionally picturesque and original habit, pines (Pinus strobus) and a shapely robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia). All these trees are ‘monuments of nature’. The name-plates placed on the trunks facilitate the recognition of the species.
The verdure on the other side of Plac Kościelny (from Wyższa Brama Street) is also interesting. It is significantly different from the character of the park on the other side of the church in terms of the composition of the species of trees and the lay-out. Here the following trees are worth noting: a lime-tree (Tilia plytyphyllos) – a monument of nature – that grows opposite the side entrance to the church, 3 horse-chestnuts that are preserved and constitute a group monument of nature, stately durmast trees, a silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and an ailanthus (Ailanthus altissima).
