The mansion is situated on the 6 acres reserve "Grad w Mysinku" (Flora and Fauna) and is surrounded by 10.000 acres of forest, fields and meadows.

The surrounding forest also provide a home to birds such as storks(also the black one) cranes, herons, kingfisher and many other seldom seen small birds. Not only the horse riding but also a walking-tour outside the mansion can become an adventure. The naturalists and photographers under you also come into one's own with the quit beauty of Mysinek Mansion. Yet still for all that, this idyll is only 11 km South of Starogard Gd. a city of about 50.000 inhabitants and abt. 55 km. from the old Hanzecity Gdansk/Danzig.
