ABSTRACT
Calligraphic parks – it is a large group of realizations, unfortunately almost unknown in the
history of the landscape. Hundreds of them were designed on the turn of 19th century, but only
about one hundred still exist. They are recognized as the most subtle forms of the naturalistic
style. The characteristic shape of curved paths, streams and the lakeside – calling associations
with Polish calligraphic writing, recognized as a canon of beauty – was distinctive for this style.
Some of the parks were realized in the territory of the Ukraine. The description of their location
and status quo may contribute to their restoration and to better management of the surrounding
landscape.
