Krasnokutsk Arboretum

Park / garden

Krasnokutsk Arboretum is one of the oldest arboreal parks of Ukraine.

It was founded in 1809 (according to other sources, in 1793) by the biologist Ivan Karazin, brother of the founder of Kharkiv University Vasyl Karazin, in their family estate. The father of the Karazin brothers, Nazar Karazin, a colonel in the Russian army, received these lands from Catherine II. His son Ivan Nazarovych carried out reclamation works on the outskirts of the former military settlement, on the site of the Cossack Peter and Paul Monastery (1664), and established an arboretum here.

While traveling the world, he collected many seedlings and seeds of rare plants, which he then acclimatized. Among them: ginkgo, Canadian poplar, western sycamore, Lowa fir, Weymouth pine, Japanese quince, black walnut and others.

Currently, the Krasnokutsk Arboretum is part of the Krasnokutsk Research Station of Horticulture, free entry. The caves of the Peter and Paul Monastery have been preserved on the territory.
