Park / garden
A monument of garden and park art, the Zhurivsky Arboretum was created in the 19th century by Kyiv vice-governor Arkadiy Kochubey for his wife Sofiya Vyazemska.
The manor had a 40-room palace with a hall of mirrors and a library. A picturesque avenue led from the palace to the pond. 382 species of trees and shrubs grew in the park. In particular, cedar, larch, oak, and Manchurian walnut were imported from East and South Asia.
Currently, 150 species of trees remain, including larch, thuja, suga, rubber tree. A 400-year-old giant oak and an age-old black pine in the form of a lyre, as well as a trident pine, have been preserved. Of the manor buildings, only the kennel building has survived.
