The paper presents the question of the co-existance of the palace in Sztynort and the surrounding park in their natural setting, on the shore of Sztynorckie Lake. The contemporary scenic relations of the landscape interior composed of the lake and the historic building have been lost due to the many years of transformations, often chaotic ones, in the analysed area. The present-day condition of the scenic relations and the manner in which the valuable palace is exposed today have been diagnosed. The negative consequences of the transformation of the shores of Sztynorckie Lake for the landscape values of this special place have been discussed. Some possible actions to be undertaken in order to protect the landscape values of the palace and its grounds have been suggested.
