Tolochin. Jozefpolye Park.

In 1890, on the outskirts of the city of Tolochin, local Slavinsky gentlemen laid out a landscape park. Their estate was also there. All that remains of its former greatness is a park, an economic building of a red brick oil mill, a small pond and the beautiful river Drut, which was once an essential trade route.


The park was founded at the place where the Other makes a bend and the horseshoe covers part of the park. The park was planted with local tree species such as poplar, birch, pine, spruce, linden. The relief of the park left its mark on the construction of the estate. Its front part is built according to the classical layout, and it is located on a hill, on the axis of the bend of the river Drut. And this opening provides a good view of picturesque compositions: floodplains with landscapes, riverine distances, the turn of the river. 


The composition of the park consists of the technique of alternating tree groups and small clearings with woodlands. There are 2 parts in the park: the North–Eastern part - up to the bend of the river, and the southern part, running along the steep bank of the Druti with a swampy lowland.


The park uses bouquet plantings and flower beds. 2 old flower beds have been preserved: the diameter of the first is 11 meters and it is irregular, where the lime trees grow in 2 circles, and the diameter of the second is 9 meters.


There is a mass grave of Soviet soldiers in the park, on which a monument was erected in 1960.
