Arboretum
The Arboretum of Lusławice
The Penderecki Arboretum in Lusławice, owned by Elżbieta and Krzysztof Penderecki, is a truly exceptional dendrologic collection located in a 15ha park, consisting of over 1500 species of trees and shrubs that cannot be found anywhere else in Europe. The area also boasts 18th and 19th century manor houses and Fausto Sozzini Mausoleum.
In the 16th and 17th century, Polish Brethren lived there and during the interwar period Jacek Malczewski, a distinguished Polish painter, lived and worked in Lusławice. Since 1975, Krzysztof Penderecki has been playing a vital role in the village’s history. He composed a botanic piece - the huge park. The creation of the arboretum took 40 years, more than any of the composer’s works. This work of his lifetime is sometimes referred to as his ninth symphony. Surrounded by Penderecki’s beloved trees stands the renovated 18th century manor house and symbolic grave of Fausto Sozzini. In Lusławice, one of Penderecki’s biggest dreams came to life, i.e. the European Centre for Music. Both the institution and the amazing arboretum complete his oeuvre and complement the cycle of 8 symphonies.This work is still alive.
Planting trees is my regular and favorite activity. Without it I would not find balance. The trees will last.
