American Gardens

The gardens have a terrace-like relief with a beautiful view of the Kvaerner Bay. Because the gardener's house was built long before all the other buildings, there is an obvious and much expressed sense and understanding of landscape architecture and horticulture.

The gardens are planted with numerous species including camphor, eucalyptus, camellias, gardenias, magnolias, Australian agaves, thousands of roses, Vitis Vinifera and, not least, paprika.

Interestingly, the impressive ruins of Šišina mirina were preserved because Kuczor was allowed to buy the land only if he kept the ruins.
