Abstract
The paper is dedicated to establishing the trend of changes in planning, taxonomic composition, landscapes,
and plantings in the Staromerychytskyi Park-Monument of landscape gardening of national importance
for a short period (about 20 years). The park is located in the village of Staryi Merchyk, Bohodukhiv district,
Kharkiv region (Ukraine). The history of the creation of this park ensemble is considered. The changes in
the planning, and the composition of the dendroflora, which occurred during the entire period of the park’s
existence, were investigated. An inventory of the park dendroflora and an analysis of the landscapes and
plantings, with an interval of 20 years, were conducted. This provides an opportunity for further study and
development of recommendations for preserving plantations in ancient parks. According to the Florence
Charter, historic parks must be maintained and restored to the condition of their heyday. It was found
that due to insufficient maintenance, taxonomic, landscape, and phytocenotic degradation is observed in
Staromerychytskyi Park.

Introduction
The Florence Charter on Historic Gardens
(ICOMOS, 1982; O’Donnell, 2014), an addendum
to the Venice Charter, is a regulatory document
regulating measures for protecting ancient
parks. According to the Florence Charter,
a historical park is an architectural and plant
composition of public interest. An important
provision in the reproduction of the historical
object is the preservation and further
possibility of extending the life of the most
valuable plantings in the park and individual

Staromerchytskyi Park: changes in planning, taxonomic composition, landscapes, and plantings
rare trees. The principles of the Florence
Charter should be applied to historical parks
in Ukraine.
Information about the history of
Staromerchytskyi Park, a park-monument of
landscape gardening of national importance,
and its plantings are included in several
publications (Rubtsov, 1956; Lypa, 1960;
Zharikov, 1986; Sappa, 1987; Mayak &
Cherkasova, 1989; Klymenko et al., 1996). The
estate in Staryi Merchyk village existed since
1724. In 1776–1778, it was entirely rebuilt by
its owner, Hryhorii Shidlovskyi (1752–1820).
The old palace was dismantled, and a new
one was built. The author of the palace
project is Vasyl Bazhenov (1737–1799), and this
palace was constructed by Petro Yaroslavskyi
(1750–1810). The architect Oleksandr Palitsyn
(1749–1816) significantly expanded the estate’s
boundaries and planned the park. The parterre
was adjacent to the park facade of the palace,
the slope from the palace to the ponds was
terraced, and behind it – the landscape part of
the park remained. This estate was owned by
two generations of the Shidlovskyi family, two
generations of the Orlovy-Denisovy family, and
Yevhenii Dukhovskyi (1835–1920). In 1913, the
estate had already experienced an inevitable
decline.
After 1918, the estate in Merchyk survived,
although its cultural values were either taken
away or stolen. The gazebos, the rotunda, and
the grotto (buildings characteristic of parks in
the Romantic style) were not preserved. In the
estate, the All Saints Church was built in the
late 1770s in the place of an old church. The
church was rebuilt several times: a bell tower
and later a refectory were added. The church
was closed in 1921. In Soviet times, a zoo-
veterinary college was opened in the palace,
and the church was used as a gymnasium
building. In February 1995, the parish of All
Saints Church resumed its activities. In 1997,
when the zoo-veterinary college was closed,
the palace was still in satisfactory condition.
However, after a fire in 2018, it began to turn
into ruins. Today, the Church of All Saints in the
village of Staryi Merchyk is the small part that
was once completed. Currently, the church
is separated from the estate by a fence. The
buildings of the end of the 18th century have
been preserved in the estate: two outbuildings,
the service building, the storeroom, and the
cellar (quite damaged).
Since 1990, the park received the status
of a park-monument of landscape art of
national importance by Resolution of the State
Committee of Ecology on 30 August 1990,
Nr 18 (Ecological Passport, 2022). The park is
an environmental and recreational facility of
national importance. It is part of the Nature
Reserve Fund of Ukraine, following articles
37 and 38 of Law of Ukraine On the Nature
Reserve Fund of Ukraine (Law of Ukraine,
1992).
Conducting monitoring studies in parks-
monuments of landscape art is an important
measure to detect the changes in their layout,
biodiversity, landscapes, and plantings.
Material and methods
The research was conducted in 1997 by
Yurii Klymenko, and in 2016 and 2018 by
Alla Hryhorenko and Yurii Klymenko. The
composition of species and cultivars was
determined by route surveys. The names of
the plants are given according to the WFO
(2024). Garden and park landscapes were
defined according to the classification of
Rubtsov (1956), who distinguished six types:
forest, park, meadow, garden, regular, and
alpine. Landscape plans were made, area
of sections and the area occupied by each
type of landscape were calculated using the
ArcView GIS 3.2a software. For the analysis
of plantings, the park’s territory was divided
into sections according to the predominant
species by the forest management method.
Sections in which none of the species reached
five units in the composition were allocated
to a separate category and considered those
having no predominating species. The data
were obtained at intervals of 20 years, during
which the park was practically not cared for.
Results and discussion
According to official data (NRF, 2009), the
park’s area is 69 ha. Our calculations of the
1:10000 scale park plan, obtained from the
State Cartographic and Geodetic Fund of
Ukraine, showed that in 1997 the area was
61 ha (Fig. 1). In 2018, after the separation of
the church territory, the park area remained
60.5 ha (Fig. 2; Table 1).
22 Plant Introduction • 105/106
Hryhorenko & Klymenko
The altitudinal difference in the park is 46
m. The park is located on the slopes of the
ravine. There was a pond of 1.0 ha, part of
which (0.65 ha) has now turned into a swamp.
The presence of an island in the northern part
of the swampy area evidences that it was once
a pond.
From 1997 to 2018, the territory of the
parterre was overgrown with self-sowing
trees and bushes, which appeared both
on the former areas of flower gardens and
lawns, and on paths. In 2018, it was already
impossible to walk there. Therefore, the plans
have not shown the paths since 2018 anymore.
Compared to the park’s heyday time, many
roads became the paths.
According to data from 1949, about 30
species and cultivars of woody plants grew
in the Park. Native tree species such as
Quercus robur L., Tilia cordata Mill., Acer
platanoides L., and Fraxinus excelsior L.
prevailed there. Picea pungens Engelm.
(in the source mentioned as a silver fir),
Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss., Pinus rigida
Mill., Pseudotsuga mensiesii (Mirb.) Franco
and other introduced species were also
registered in the study area (Lypa, 1960).
Sappa (1987) reported that one of the
largest trees of Picea abies (L.) Karst. in
Ukraine grew in the Staromerchytskyi Park.
However, in 1997, it was not rediscovered.
In 1997, 44 species of trees, shrubs, and
half-shrubs belonging to 32 genera and 20
families were recorded in the park (Appendix).
The division Pinophyta is represented by four
species, all trees. The division Magnoliophyta
comprises 40 species (27 trees, 12 shrubs,
and one half-shrub). The same taxonomic
composition was established in 2018. Hence, it
has not changed in 20 years, although the park
has not been appropriately maintained for
over 100 years. Only the most stable species
have survived here. The recent droughts and
the European spruce bark beetle attack on
the Picea abies almost destroyed its plantings
in many Ukrainian parks. In Staryi Merchyk,
most of the spruce trees were eliminated by
1997. There are solitary plants that are not
affected by bark beetles. It is noticeable that
the number of age-old Pinus sylvestris L. has
decreased in plantings. Some of the dead
trees are standing, as the law prohibits any
felling on the objects of the protected areas.
The number of pines in the park remains
significant. Bark beetle damage was observed
only on one middle-aged pine tree.
In 1997 and 2018, the forest type of garden
and park landscape prevailed in the park
(Figs. 3 & 4; Table 2).
In 1997, near the southern facade of the
park, there was a section of regular landscape
– a parterre. Until 2018, it was covered by the
self-sowing of different plant species (e.g.,
Fraxinus excelsior, Acer negundo L., Robinia
pseudoacacia L., etc.). It became a forest type
of landscape in which none of the species
predominates. Hence, in the absence of care,
20 years is enough for the regular landscape to
be replaced by forest.
Staromerchytskyi Park is located on the
territory of the Zmiiv-Valkiv-Derhachiv

the Central Russian Forest subprovince of the
Eastern European province of the European-
Siberian Forest Steppe Oblast. This territory
is characterized by linden-oak, oak (smaller
areas are occupied by maple-linden-oak
forests), oak-pine forests (located on terraces),
floodplain meadows, and meadow steppes on
chernozems. In the past, almost the entire
territory was covered with forests, which were
destroyed in the 19th century (Barbarych,
1977). Both in 1997 and 2018, Fraxinus excelsior
dominated the plantings of the park (Figs. 5
& 6; Table 3).
Most likely, the park was created based
on a natural oak forest (Querceta roboris).
Therefore, age-old trees of Quercus robur
and Fraxinus excelsior, which grew there even
before the park’s creation, were noted in the
study area.
In 2018, 47 age-old oak trees in the park
were measured. The diameters of the trunks
of 34 of these oaks ranged from 56–98 cm.
Thirteen oaks had trunk diameters between
100–132 cm. The trunk diameter in four
Fraxinus excelsior trees varied from 70 to
103 cm; in three Acer platanoides trees, it
ranged from 68 to 72 cm; and in one Populus
alba tree, it was 90 cm. But over time, most of
the oak trees fell out or were cut down. The
place of oaks was captured by common ash.
Cultures of Quercus robur were established
only in some areas. Small areas are covered
with Acer campestre L. trees, the tops of many
of which died off due to droughts. The age-
old trees of Pinus sylvestris indicate the use
of coniferous species in the park plantings.
Eighteen trees were measured, and six were
dry but still standing. The measured trees

had trunk diameters between 35 and 102 cm.
Some coniferous species are only mentioned
in literary sources but have not recently been
discovered in the park area.
Conclusions
1. Due to insufficient care, the taxonomic,
landscape, and phytocenotic degradation
occurs in Staromerchytskyi Park.
2. The pace of taxonomic degradation
slows down over time. The taxonomic
composition could remain stable for
decades in the future if a significant number
of species disappear during the first stages.
3. Lack of care leads to replacing a regular
landscape (parterre) with a forest type of
landscape, involving species that spread
quickly by self-sowing.

Стаття присвячена встановленню тенденції змін у плануванні, таксономічному складі,
ландшафтах та насадженнях у Старомерчицькому парку-пам’ятці садово-паркового мистецтва
загальнодержавного значення за нетривалий проміжок часу (близько 20 років). Розташований
парк у селі Старий Мерчик Богодухівського району Харківської області. Розглянуто історію
створення цього паркового ансамблю. Досліджено зміни в плануванні та складі дендрофлори,
які відбувалися протягом усього періоду існування парку. Проведено інвентаризацію
дендрофлори парку, аналіз ландшафтів та насаджень з інтервалом у 20 років. Це дає можливість
подальшого аналізу та рекомендацій для збереження насаджень у старовинних парках.
Відповідно до Флорентійської хартії, історичні парки повинні підтримуватись та поновлюватись
з метою досягнення стану періоду їхнього розквіту. Встановлено, що через недостатній догляд
у Старомеричицькому парку спостерігається таксономічна, ландшафтна та фітоценотична
деградація.
Ключові слова: старовинний парк, садово-парковий ландшафт, насадження, вікові дерева

The park is located in the village of Staryi Merchyk, Bohodukhiv district, Kharkiv region (Ukraine). The history of the creation of this park ensemble is considered. The changes in the planning, and the composition of the dendroflora, which occurred during the entire period of the park’s existence, were investigated. An inventory of the park dendroflora and an analysis of the landscapes and plantings, with an interval of 20 years, were conducted. This provides an opportunity for further study and development of recommendations for preserving plantations in ancient parks. According to the Florence Charter, historic parks must be maintained and restored to the condition of their heyday. It was found that due to insufficient maintenance, taxonomic, landscape, and phytocenotic degradation is observed in Staromerychytskyi Park.
