The Samchykivskyy Park-Monument is an 18th-century landscape park situated in the village of Samchyky, Khmelnytskyi Oblast. It serves as the primary grounds for the Samchyky Palace, a classicist architectural ensemble designed by Polish architect Jakub Kubicki. The park spans approximately 18 hectares and is renowned for its preservation of historic dendrological collections, including rare tree species. It features a sophisticated irrigation system of artificial ponds and canals connected to the Sluch River. The design reflects the transition from formal French-style gardening to the English landscape park style popular in the early 19th century. The estate was historically owned by the Hohol-Yanovsky family, followed by the Sheremetievs. Today, the site functions as a state-protected landscape architecture monument and a cultural museum site.
