In 1816 the park was acquired by Count Alexander Potocki, who converted it by taking on the basis the "Sofiyivka" in Uman. He also built a palace in the Italian style.

The first and second world wars caused significant damage to the park, although it was partially restored later. Currently in the park grow many rare plants, but it is not in the best condition. Although with desire and funds the restoration is possible in short terms..
