Summary/Abstract: One of the most outstanding European landscape architects of the 19th century – Peter Joseph Lenné (1789–1866), during his 50-year long professional activity aimed at combining all elements of landscape. This study presents the landscape planning project, improving the ttractiveness of agricultural land, designed by Lenné for the Radaczewo estate (the Zachodniopomorskie province). The design prepared in 1825 covered the area of almost 1000 ha. The area comprised arable land, gardens, pastures, tree plantings, water bodies, etc. – structures and elements which merge and form a unique mosaic in the local landscape. Attention is drawn here to the irregular outlines of individual fields and crops – so different from the contemporary, rectangular shapes and divisions. Advantages and disadvantages of the solutions adopted in Radaczewo, along with an analysis of the preservation status of this object constituted the subject of this study.
