Parks have changed greatly over the centuries – from antique royal gardens, through medieval cloister viridarii to splendid parks of the Renaissance and Baroque. A new approach to the art of garden planning can be observed in the case of romantic gardens and landscape parks, decorated with sarcophaguses, small bridges, arbors and monuments. These elements require particular attention during renewal, as they are pieces of art unique to the epoch in which they were created. Many manor parks can be found in villages of Lower Silesia. In the communes investigated, i.e. Długołęka, Prusice and Sobótka, there were parks in 45.5% of villages. Many of them have been destroyed, but some can be restored, along with elements of small architecture.
