It is worth noting that the Kozell-Poklevsky estate is the only Belarusian estate in the design of which a rare Arabic style was used - Alhambra, or Moorish.

Near the palace, according to the design of F. Shanior, on an area of about 4 hectares, an "English park" is laid out. It is bordered on three sides by a high brick wall, and on the fourth - by the Dobosna River.

A network of paths divides the park into several zones, one of which is adjacent to the river.

The park has preserved velvet maple, larch, fir, hornbeam, oak, silver poplar and other types of trees planted at the end of the 19th century.

The park is included in the list of natural monuments of national significance.

There is a mysterious owl stone in the park - a boulder with two triangular holes-eyes.

The project of the monument was created by the creative workshop of L.M. Levin, an honored architect of Belarus, laureate of the Lenin and State Prizes.
