Dorota's Retreat
Dorota's Retreat (DorotheasRuhe) is situated opposite the greenhouse, in a spot where amidst the trees, we encounter a stone circle, which was called Dorota's secluded nook, or the "temple of contemplation" amidst spruces, firs, birches, and lindens. An extravagant love for flowers found its climax in the rich arrangement of the legendary flower oak. At its central point stood a sizable cut oak trunk, which from April to October was adorned with vases and pots of blooming flowers. It was called the "Lulu Oak". Surrounding it were benches and tables made from thick branches, left behind after cutting trunks and tree limbs. It was a favorite place for relaxation, contemplation, and inspiration for Duchess Dorota Talleyrand-Périgord's extensive correspondence.

Greenhouse-Warmhouse, Palm House, or, as various sources report, the Flower Shop - a place located east of the palace. It was directly across from Dorota's Retreat. The greenhouse, erected in the year one thousand eight hundred forty-eight, designed by an unknown creator or possibly the architectural advisor Versen, in an arcaded style with a central risalit, with the decor of a centrally located salon (late classicism), was a winter garden under glass and an outdoor garden with numerous lawns and sculptures. The building functioned as a storage for orange and lemon trees, which during the spring-summer period were placed outside the palm house in the courtyard and palace driveway. Significantly remodeled in the years one thousand eight hundred seventy-seven, one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight, the building served as a place for exhibiting ornamental plants grown in the princely nursery with a special arrangement of plants: in winter with camellias, azaleas, and rhododendrons, and delicate ones from the cold zone, while in summer with deciduous plants and flowers of all kinds. A peculiar feature of the palm house was the enormous fan palm, considered one of the largest in Europe. After the year one thousand eight hundred eighty-nine, it was removed due to a lack of conditions for further cultivation. The palm house building has not survived to the present day. Continuing further, we encounter the Carp Pond from the north side and the Fisherman's Hut.
