Summary:Racot is a small village some 50 km from Poznan and three km from Koscian. Though quite a lot is known about the palace of Racot, comparatively little is known about its accompanying park. A significant problem for any reconstruction of the Racot park is its very run down condition. Most of the trees have been cut down and large scale maintenance works were only initiated a few years ago. Apart from fragmentary and general texts that were written about the park, we are not in possession of any source materials that could be used as a basis for reconstruction of the park itself and its basic concept.
