Time Guardians – extraordinary trees in Łańcut Park
The Castle Park in Łańcut is not only a beautiful backdrop for one of the most magnificent magnate residences in Poland. It is also a true kingdom of centuries-old trees, many of which have been designated as natural monuments. Among them are specimens dating back to the times of the Potocki family, and some of them are among the most valuable trees in the country.
The biggest attraction of the park is the ginkgo biloba – one of the oldest and most impressive in Poland. It is a real 'living fossil,' whose ancestors grew on Earth over 200 million years ago. In the autumn, it fascinates with the golden color of its leaves. Among the monumental trees, the mighty plane maples also stand out, resembling guardians of the former residence. They are accompanied by centuries-old beeches, oaks, and white poplars, which for generations have created the unique landscape of the Łańcut Castle Park.
- London plane - has been growing in the utility courtyard for 213 years
- Ginkgo biloba - has been growing on the southeast side of the Castle for 203 years
- Eastern white pine - has been growing in front of the Castle on the west side for 183 years
Currently, the Orchidarium consists of an exhibition area accessible to visitors, a cultivation backroom, and a summer café. The greenhouse showcases the most beautiful orchid specimens during their blooming period, while other plants are cultivated in specialized greenhouses adapted to the conditions of their natural environments. The collection includes terrestrial, lithophytic, and epiphytic orchids, both botanical species and varieties cultivated by humans. Of particular value are the historic orchids from the pre-war Potocki collection and species described in the 19th-century work "Reichenbachia," preserved in the Castle Library in Łańcut.
