The Palace Park located in Białowieża was established at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries around the hunting residence of the Russian tsars, built in the years 1889–1894. Its area is approx. 50 ha. The main building of this residence was the palace, which burned down in 1944. Only the so-called kitchen gate survived. The buildings that once accompanied the tsar's palace have also survived: the Management House, the Marshal's House, the Jegierski House, the Drivers' House, the Bath House. In the place where the palace once stood, today there is the Directorate, the Nature and Forest Museum and the BPN Guest Rooms. The park was designed in the English style, also called landscape style, by the famous planner - Walerian Kronenberg. Its characteristic feature is the free compositional assumptions, with the plant thread coming to the forefront. Against the background of compact trees, single trees and their small groups growing in the clearings look picturesque. Of the approximately 200 species of trees and shrubs planted here, nearly 90 have survived to this day.
