Palace Park, Podole Małe

The Palace Park, Podole Małe is a palace park in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, Słupsk County, Gmina Dębnica Kaszubska, in the village of Podole Małe, covering an area of 16.23 hectares. Established in the second half of the 19th century, it was designed in a landscape style around a manor owned by the Central Pomeranian noble family von Zitzewitz. In 1997, it was entered into the register of monuments as an immovable heritage site. The tree stand is dominated by European beech and pedunculate oak. Exotic plants, such as Serbian spruce and eastern hemlock, are also abundant. The park hosts rare animal species, including the common toad, smooth newt, and Eurasian pygmy shrew. A forest pond of about 2.7 hectares within the complex serves as a natural habitat for the mute swan. The park also contains an Evangelical cemetery.
