Key facts about Stary Bukowiec
Stary Bukowiec lies on a rolling moraine plateau on both banks of the Wierzyca. The Stary Bukowiec Natura 2000 site covers 308.39 hectares and is located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. It protects natural dystrophic waters as well as transition mires and quaking bogs; the vegetation belongs predominantly to the Scheuchzerio-Caricetea class. Historic sites include a manor house built in 1682 and remodeled in the second half of the 19th century, a manor garden and a Protestant cemetery.
What characterizes the landscape?
The village’s location on both banks of the Wierzyca and the rolling moraine plateau describe two features of the landscape: the course of the river and the undulating terrain. The Natura 2000 site also bears the name Stary Bukowiec.
In terms of its natural features, it protects natural dystrophic waters and two types of mire: transition mires and quaking bogs. The vegetation is classified predominantly in the Scheuchzerio-Caricetea class. These technical terms give the nature theme a specific focus. If you are primarily interested in wetlands and mire landscapes when choosing a destination, Stary Bukowiec offers a designated protected area for this. This makes it possible to distinguish the landscape from the village’s historical features without presenting them as a single site or a set route.
What historic traces are there?
The manor house was built in 1682 and remodeled in the second half of the 19th century. These two dates refer to different phases of construction: the first marks its construction, and the later one its remodeling. The Stary Bukowiec 48 estate is described as a manor house and park complex. This means the historic site includes not only the building, but also names the park as part of the complex.
The manor garden was created at the beginning of the 20th century. It has an informal design, and a number of old trees have been preserved. These are distinct features of the garden and relate to a different period than the construction history of the manor house. If you are interested in the estate’s history, you can consider these details separately: the manor house that was built and later remodeled, the complex with its park, and the more recent garden with its preserved trees.
What other sites are part of the village’s history?
The Protestant cemetery was probably established toward the end of the 19th century. It lies south of the village in a forest, west of the unpaved Bartoszylas–Stary Bukowiec road. A few fragments of historic gravestones remain. The Stary Bukowiec mill lies on the upper reaches of the Wierzyca and adds another riverside site to those mentioned above.
