Trostianets Arboretum is one of the most beautiful landscape parks of Ukraine. It was created in the 19th century by a representative of the ancient Hetman family, Ivan Skoropadskyi (grandson of Hetman Ivan Skoropadskyi, grandfather of Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi).

The Trostianets Park project was developed by gardener Karl Schlinhlof. Artificial mountains (up to 30 meters high) reminiscent of the Alps were piled on a flat piece of land. The pits formed during the removal of soil for the mountains have been turned into ponds. At first, trees of local species were planted: pine, spruce, birch, oak. Then exotic species were planted in the artificially created landscape: Weymouth pine, Siberian spruce, Siberian cedar, black pine, hemlock, juniper and others. In total - 623 species.

Work continued until Skoropadsky's death in 1887. He is buried in the grounds of the park, the words are carved on the monument: "Any passer-by! The garden in which you walk was planted by me; it served me as a comfort in my life. If you see a disorder that leads to its destruction, then say about this to the master of the garden: you will do a good deed."

Currently, the Trostianets Arboretum is subordinate to the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and tours are held.

Two outbuildings have been preserved from the complex of manor buildings, which are currently being restored to create a museum and a hotel.
