Wyczółki Park
History
In 1805, castellan Franciszek Krotkowski, who then owned the village of Wyczyółki, built there the Wyczółki Manor House as his residence. It was placed near two Berensewicz Ponds. Around them was developed an English landscape garden. In 1938, the area was incorporated into Warsaw. In 1965, the park, together with sculptures located in it, were given the status of a protected cultural property.
