    This beautiful park is located just north of the tourist office. It is not part of the national park, which means entry is free. You enter by crossing a small bridge over a canal. It dates from 1890 when the village of Bialowieza was still under the control of the Russian tsars.

    The latter also had a palace built which did not survive the vagaries of time. In the large wooded park, a Victorian-style building has a small museum which intelligently introduces you to the animal species that you can discover in the Białowieża Forest.

      The Palace Park was established after 1895 as an integral part of the private hunting residence of the Russian tsars, built in the years 1889-1894. The name of the park "Palace" refers to the most important building, this residence, which was the tsar's palace (it burned down in 1944 and was finally demolished in 1962). The palace was accompanied by a complex of other buildings. Some of them were intended for the needs of the court and the tsar's service: the Orthodox church, the Drivers' House, the Bath House, the Management House, the stable house, the Świcki House, the Marshal's House, the Jegierski House. The remaining buildings were of an economic and industrial nature: the Cossack stable, the arsenal, the mill, the power plant, the barn, the garages. This hunting residence was surrounded by a park of over 50 hectares. The park was designed by Walerian Kronenberg (1859-1934), one of the most outstanding and fashionable designers of garden and park layouts from the turn of the century. He also designed over 300 larger and smaller parks in Poland, Lithuania, Russia and Crimea. In Warsaw alone, Kronenberg designed, among others, the Horse Racing Grounds and Agricola.
