The castle-palace of Rumyantsev was located on the market square, where there used to be a military fortress. A large landscape park was laid on the basis of a plot of ancient oak forest. The count died alone in Tashan.

Count Mykola Holitsyn's grandson expanded the park and built a mahogany house in it. With him, the park's plantings were replenished with such trees and shrubs as hornbeam, Weymouth pine, European larch, birch, ash, common juniper.

In 1901-1903, the last owner of Tashan, Prince Kostyantyn Horchakov, added a system of three ponds to the park, which used to grow fish. Now only one pond with an island looks attractive. Canadian maple and silver fir grow on the island and on its shores. In some places, you can find nests of chestnuts, maples and boxwood.

On Chmirova Hill, which was a place of reception and entertainment for guests, there is a single pyramidal oak, and very close to it is a well dug by Horchakov in 1901.
