Landscape Park "Buky"
Park / garden
The landscape park in Buky, Kyiv region, was laid out on the banks of the Rostavitsa River in 1996 at the expense of the Skvyra entrepreneur Ivan Suslov.
On his initiative, the clogged riverbed was cleared, the dam was restored, and the old water mill was reconstructed and converted into a mini hydroelectric power station. The picturesque rapids and rocky shores of Rostavitsa were transformed into a landscape park with many bridges, gazebos and various sculptures.
The buildings of the Suslov family manor house are successfully incorporated into the landscape: a residential building with a family chapel, a "watchtower", a hunting lodge, a carpentry workshop, and others. In the decoration of buildings, you can often find the number "7", which Ivan Suslov considers his lucky number (his initials form the Ukrainian word "SIM", he is the seventh child in the family, etc.).
In the mini-zoo you can see lions, bears, deer, ponies, and peacocks.
Recently, a "Fairy Tale Lawn" was opened on the territory of the park with figures of heroes of fairy tales and a playground for children of the family-type orphanage, which contains the Suslovs.
Buky Park is available for visiting in the warm season, entrance to the territory is free, excursions to the mini-zoo and to the "Fairytale Lawn" are paid. Embroidery, souvenirs, ice cream and soft drinks are sold at the entrance. There is a restaurant and a mini-hotel.
