Nearly five hundred years of history of the residence in Komierowo have their silent witnesses. These are monumental pedunculate oaks (Quercus robur) surrounding the palace. The oldest of them remembers the times of the family's adoption of the "Komierowski" surname,
which took place in the 15th century.
Many of the centuries-old trees growing around the palace are relics of the wild landscape surrounding the former knightly fortress. Just like the building of the Komierowski family seat, its surroundings have undergone successive transformations over the centuries. Most often, these changes were carried out alongside the modernization of the main residential building.
In the park area, one can come across lindens and oaks planted in the second half of the 17th century,
when the former knightly fortress took the form of a small baroque palace. Subsequent generations transformed the palace park, continuously expanding it, until in the 19th century it took the form of an extensive naturalistic park. The location of the old-growth trees reveals that the palace park underwent successive modifications throughout almost the whole 19th century, bringing it closer to a state corresponding to the garden art trends prevailing at that time. The greatest intensity of changes occurred in 1896, when Roman Komierowski commissioned the reconstruction of the baroque palace. At that time, a romantic estate was created, framed by a vast park layout harmoniously blending with the surrounding landscape. It was the natural assets of the place, such as topography and centuries-old tree stands, that dominated and imposed the shape of the final concept of the park’s arrangement, making it one of the most exceptional naturalistic parks in Poland.
