Count's Park Hanušovce

In the middle of the 18th century, an ornamental garden with a regular layout was established near the Great Manor House. Its most valuable arrangement was on the terraces in front of the south-eastern facade of the manor house. The terraced layout was based on the natural configuration of the terrain and the garden architecture on Baroque morphology. It was preserved in this form until the mid-19th century, when the regular garden was converted into a nature and landscape park.
During World War II, the entire spruce stand around the Great Manor House was cut down and used in the construction of the Prešov-Strážske railway line in 1939-1943. The area of the historical park was also considerably damaged by the fact that the newly built railway cut through it in its NW part. The park was further encroached upon in the post-war years, when the construction of family houses began here. In 2014, an archaeological park was built in the area of this park and opened to the public.
