In recent years, individual palace – and manorialpark premises in Warmia and Mazuria, until recently degraded, are being revalorised and adapted for hotels and boarding houses. These undertakings are associated with various conservation problems. Three documentations of the revalorisation of historical greenery, conceived during the 1990s, illustrate the issues in question. Since the fourteenth century the landed estate and village of Galina have been the seat of the Eulenburg family. The estate is comprised of an oft-rebuilt palatial complex, a farm, and a landscape park located in a river meander and merging with the local forest. The woodland-park premise possesses an expanded water configuration, and encompasses an irregular network of paths and tracks, meadows and pastures, balks, and lanes, all of which comprise an intentionally shaped agricultural landscape. After 1945 Galina was divided between several users. During the 1990s, the by then devastated estate was purchased by a private investor. The original revalorisation and adaptation programme assumed the establishment of a luxurious boarding house in the palace, and a boarding house together with sports, gastronomical and technical-utility facilities in the farm. The revalorisation project relating to the park foresaw the recreation of landscape interiors and a water configuration decisive for the park’s character. In 2001 the revalorisation of the park was recognised by the Minister of Culture (a special award). The manorial-park complex in Wajsznory originated in the eighteenth-nineteenth century. After 1945 the estate was assigned to numerous users, and subjected to considerable unfavourable transformation. In 2002 it was taken over by an investor. Its components include a nineteenth – twentieth-century manor house, a farm, and a park composed of a decorative part, an orchard, and a vegetable garden. Today, the whole premise is intended for residential-leisure purposes and a stock farm; additionally, it encompasses part of a wasteland. Within the available six-hectares the new owners distinguished stately, leisure, sports and forest areas. The revalorisation, conducted for the past two years, has already rendered the park premise much more attractive than its historical form. Stoczek Klasztorny is a Marian sanctuary associated with the cult of Our Lady of Peace. The church and the monastic buildings come from the seventeenth century, and the garden has preserved a row of linden and maple trees, a hornbeam avenue, and the remnants of a thuya lane along the main axis of the garden. During the post-war period, the garden interior lost its former utilitarian-decorative character; current efforts aim at a restoration of the premise’s former features. In 2001 the monastery was awarded a silver medal in a competition held by the Minister of Culture. The above mentioned parks have become important highlights on the tourist map of the region as well as the site of meetings held by specialists dealing with landscape architecture and the education of academic students and secondary school pupils.
